Does vSphere 6.5 web client support Internet Explorer 9?

I have a single server with local storage running vSphere 6.0 with the latest patches. This is a very basic setup with no SAN, vCenter Server, or other features utilized. I manage this host from a Windows Server 2008 (original) server. It has two guest OSes on different subnets which are segmented from the management computer. I am considering upgrading to vSphere 6.5, which is supported on that physical server, however, that will necessitate moving from the Windows vSphere client to the vSphere web client. While Microsoft is still releasing patches for Internet Explorer 9, some websites don't render correctly on that web browser. I do have an older version of Google Chrome on that server as well, however, it is a bit behind as Google no longer supports that OS for Chrome. I tried doing some web searches for Internet Explorer 9 compatibility with the vSphere 6.5 web client but got nowhere.

Can anyone say from experience if Internet Explorer 9 or an older version of Google Chrome will work with the vSphere 6.5 web client? If not, I may leave well enough alone and remain on vSphere 6.0.

Looks like the 6.5 Web Client is supported with Internet Explorer v10.0.19 and later. Not supported with v9.0. More details in the below link -

Thank you for the links. I checked and the management computer has Google Chrome version 49. Per the article if you are using Chrome you need version 34 or newer so I may be in business.
