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:
It is recommended to use only the latest Chrome 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.
