Description: 

Drupal 8 uses SVG in place of PNG to provide resolution independent icons in the admin UI. No effort is made to cater for browsers that do not support SVG. This includes IE8 and below and Android Browser 2.3 and below.

The UI components that will be affected on these unsupported browsers include:

  • Contextual links
  • The toolbar
  • The extend page
  • The system status report
