ElevenReader gets unsupported browser error message

Can you be more specific about what error you are getting and what you mean by “reject queries”?

IE has been End-of-Life (EoL) for some time now, and is not supported by the site. If you use an older browser, you should get an error message that includes a line saying that “IE will not be supported.”. The message says things about other browsers as well and is not specific to IE.

If you’re referring to that message (it’s not clear what your error is), then that would suggest the app parsing it doesn’t support modern CSS[1].
In that case, I would suspect it doesn’t run JavaScript either and is attempting to only read HTML, which would make this duplicative of various past issues regarding parsers without JS (see also the relevant GitHub issue as source-of-truth). If so, that problem has no relationship to IE.
If that is the case, you could workaround this a few ways:


As general bug reporting advice, rather than starting with a proposed solution (like “remove IE code”) based on various assumptions without references, it is better to give as many details as possible about your problem, including screenshots, full error messages, and a list of steps anyone can follow in order to reproduce the problem. Similar to how you would give a doctor a detailed list of symptoms with the specific order and times they occurred, rather than suggest to them a medication while only partially describing one symptom.

Without those specific details, someone has to work backwards with fragmented information to figure out the problem, to which the solution may be entirely different than what you proposed. That is substantially more difficult (requiring guesswork and inference) than if anyone can reproduce the exact problem with the exact same error message.

That reminds me that you can wrap it with greater than and less than symbols, < and >, i.e. <http://suttacentral.net/an10.211/en/bodhi>, which renders as: http://suttacentral.net/an10.211/en/bodhi.

If you’re linking to the default translation (en/sujato, en/brahmali, en/kelly), you can also refer to it by its abbreviation, which will be auto-linked, such as: AN10.211
