So, people might want to avoid upgrading their web browsers in 2016 unless/until AA is improve (though the following suggests AA really needs to bug Akamai to get their act together):

As a non-techi, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but I can't imagine that AA will allow at least 33% of its customers to be unable to access their website and conduct their normal transactions.
