This support now comes built in to Edge, ironing out any bumps in the road while adding a tariff. In a presentation posted on YouTube earlier this week, Pullen explained how Microsoft had previously offered Edge compatibility with older versions of Internet Explorer through various binary extensions that supported legacy web apps. “Internet Explorer Mode, or IE Mode for short, provides compatibility for legacy websites, so that Microsoft Edge with IE Mode now has compatibility for modern websites when using the Chromium Engine and compatibility for legacy web apps using IE Mode,” said Fred Pullen, principle program manager at the Microsoft Edge team. While Microsoft has continuously urged its customers to stop using legacy browsers like Internet Explorer – a practice that stores up “technical debt” – ongoing demand from enterprise has prompted Microsoft to abandon any immediate attempt to force organizations to revamp their intranets and improve their web security practices. The next version of Edge will support functionality on Internet Explorer through a single browser, offering “the best of both worlds”, the tech giant said.
The move, made in response to its customer demands, will be a disaster for security, critics warn. Microsoft has reversed its stance on support for out-of-date browsers and unveiled plans to release an Internet Explorer Mode for Edge.
