Officially support only the recent versions of Firefox and Google Chrome / Chromium browsers

though since then a few things have changed:

• Internet Explorer 11 is going end of life on June 15, 2022 . Meaning that for most Windows versions, using Internet Explorer 11 won’t be an option anymore.

• we use headless chrome instead of PhantomJS Fixes #21592 - uses headless chrome instead of phantomjs by ezr-ondrej · Pull Request #6748 · theforeman/foreman · GitHub
• PatternFly 4 which we depend on quite heavily supports officially only the latest version of Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome: Frequently Asked Questions | PatternFly…

Thanks!
