Misleading wording on instructions

    I have found some incorrect phrasing with what info the plugin is asking of you.

    Per the plugin, it states (Please choose which browser version you consider to be outdated (of course, this will include all versions below))

    But per the original website, it says “Required browser version:”

    So if I choose Chrome <= 60 via the plugin, one would assume Chrome 60 AND below would get picked up as “outdated”, but that’s not what the setting is doing, it is setting Chrome 60 as the required version and anything LESS THAN 60 would get picked up as outdated.

    Please change the instructions to better reflect what it is that value is being used for.

    Side note: I think a lot of the Internet Explorer issue are stemming from this issue. If you want to target IE 11 and below as “outdated”, you must set the value via the plugin to “Microsoft IE/Edge <= 15”.

    No need to change instructions. The plugin does exactly what it says.

    Example:
    I sport Safari v13 – I now set the plugin to detect all Safari versions <=13 the notification kicks in from v13 downwards.

    Sorry, I was basing all that off of testing for IE 11 only (what I was testing for), I didn’t try the other browser tests.

    It doesn’t detect IE 11 when using Microsoft IE/Edge: <= 11, but that is an issue with the Browser Update team, not your plugin.

    My apologies
