CTI applications have special requirements, as content and status information of a call has to be shared by TABs or Browser instances and each Browser has different options to do that. The following list of browsers are supported by Salesforce for CTI Data Connector SoftPhone:
Supported Browsers
•Chrome - full functionality
•Firefox - full functionality
•Microsoft Edge - limited functionality
•Safari - limited functionality - Chrome recommended on macOS
•Internet Explorer 11 - limited functionality. Support for IE will be discontinued in Spring 2019 Release
•No support on mobile devices
It is recommended to use only the latest Browser version.
Some limitations are due to the Salesforce CTI Data Connector SoftPhone. Check with the next Salesforce release if new Browser versions are supported.
See Browser configuration about required configuration settings.
