Browser version support is determined by looking at the statistics of browsers people use to access FANDOM, so if there still was a significant portion of users using an older version, it would continue to be supported, however this is not the case.

Upon further investigation, this issue appears to be caused by dropping support for the old, deprecated and insecure TLS 1.0 protocol&mdash;whose successors have been supported by modern browsers for years.

As part of Fandom's slow march to security, images are now delivered via HTTPS which breaks them on old browsers with old SSL support. There is no good excuse for a user to ask web sites to support their desire to maintain poor security.

It could be worse. Fandom could be delivered, in general, requiring newer security support (aka https://wikiname.wikia.com) and then you'd see nothing.

I wonder what the OP's experience is with Wikipedia, since it is all HTTPS.
