In web app land, "supported browsers" usually means the ones the
designer targets:  e.g., including "IE >= 7" in the list means that the
designer doesn't have to include workarounds for stupid glitches in
earlier IEs (or even test the design against those versions).

For CSS, this means that the site's appearance will be sometimes wonky
when running with an older-than-supported browser version.  Features
which depend on Javascript may not work at all, or only in degraded mode.
