Web browsers are regularly updated with performance and security updates. That means that outdated browsers can be vulnerable to privacy or security risks.

ResearchGate is also optimized for modern browsers. Using older versions or outdated browsers may result in technical issues, such as pages not loading properly or reduced browsing speed.
