Not your fault, Aaron, but this is misleading:

That's a bit ludicrous.  It's 2024.  You'd have to search really _hard_ 
to find a sufficiently ancient graphical Web browser that doesn't work
with Jitsi Meet.  Probably MSIE.

Just say "Web browser", for heaven's sake.  Alternatively, there are
bespoke Jitsi Meet clients for desktop and smartphone OSes.

And yes, Jitsi Project does have a painfully exact "supported browsers" 
list.  https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/user-guide/supported-browsers/
Even there, context matters:  These are versions _guaranteed_ to have
not a trace of problems, i.e., specifically tested and vetted.  That
doesn't mean, say, Firefox 67, a 2019 piece of software, wouldn't work.
It would.  Practically anything from the last 20 years would.
