Our site works well across all modern internet browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari).
Internet Explorer, however, is nearing obsolescence. In fact many would argue that it has already reached it. So, while our site does work on Internet Explorer, you may encounter occasional hiccups or non-functional features, simply because Internet Explorer does not support the modern features used on many of today's websites.
As for which browser our site works best on, that would be Google Chrome, but any of those other modern browsers should function adequately as well.
