Upgrading your browser
Boston.com has been redesigned to comply with web standards created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) -- the people who invented the web itself. The W3C created these standards so the web works better for everyone. For Boston.com users this means faster-loading pages, more interactivity, and a cleaner look.
You may have been directed to this page because you are among the less than 2 percent of Boston.com visitors whose browser version does not support these standards. Like many things, browsers become obsolete over time. New browsers, mainly, support the W3C standards; old browsers, mainly, don't.
We suggest upgrading your browser if you have the ability to do so. This will improve your web experience, enabling you to use and view sites as their creators intended. It will also give you a higher level of security in transactions, and better protect your personal information.
Upgrading your browser is easy, and free. Here is a partial list of browsers that comply with current web standards:
