I'm genuinely curious to hear which non-evergreen browsers people are having to support. Niche mobile browsers from ancient Android phones? Some of the more obscure mobile browsers from https://caniuse.com/ciu/comparison , or even more obscure ones that aren't listed there?

To what extent are those platforms unable to support a better browser? For instance, Firefox works all the way back to Android 5.0.

I'm genuinely curious to hear which non-evergreen browsers people are having to support.

Browsers on devices (sometimes iPads, sometimes Android) that are inside touch-screen kiosks.

Some of the ones I work with are in places so remote, it would take me three or four days to reach them if a software update goes wrong. Then another three or four days to get back to the office.
