Which Browser should I use to run Windchill 10.1

I do appreciate the link to the document but it's so old, I can't use it to make a decision. I will stick with IE10 for now, but I was running it on Firefox and Chrome just fine.

Damian,

We just finished our own testing with Windchill 10.1 M030. Internet Explorer 10 does not work. It constantly crashes making things difficult to say the least. We are currently using FireFox, as this was the most stable and crash free.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Brian

I use Chrome for Windchill 10-10.1. If I'm having to go back to WC 9, I'll use IE. I can't recall having a problem with any features using Chrome/WC10.

That being said, I still keep multiple browsers installed just in case. You can always switch to IE, FF if you find certain features do not work as well. I find it to be good practice on any web applications.

Are you using the following config command?

windows_browser_type mozilla_based_browser

I figured if you are having issues with IE that the internal browser which uses the IE Engine may give you problems as well or is this different?

Can I keep the internal browser in Creo as IE but use Firefox as the stand alone browser?

I prefer Chrome and may choose this as my stand alone option.

We're on 10.1. Our users generally have the capability of choose which browser to use. I've seen no isues on IE9 and FF. Several use Chrome, I didn't hear of any problems until they tried to launch Creo View.

I am currently testing Windchill 10.1 and getting ready for implementation. I wanted to know which browser I should use to work best with Windchill 10.1 and Java.

I use Chrome for everything but I was not sure if IE or Firefox had any advantage with Java running smoother.

Hi

I would first check what your company IT policy is. Can any user install any webbrowser ?

Could you have other systems requiring a particular version of a particular webbrowser ?

As said above by someone else. ProductView is not always compatible with other webbrowsers.

Is the fact that Chrome display certain pages more quickly than IE a good enough reason when certain functionality (maybe not often use) will not work with Chrome.

Personnally, I use Chrome only for certain tasks but I know the risk I take, sometimes windows get frozen and I tend to clear Chrome's cache a lot more often than with IE.

We don't restrict users from what Browser they can run or from installing applications on their workstations.

I simply want to know which browser is best for Windchill 10.1 so that I can let all my Engineers know which one to use.

I also wanted to know about the embeded Creo browser. My understanding is that it uses the IE engine. Is it OK to leave this default broswer alone? My users will mainly access Windchill through the embeded browser anyway.
