2.) What about other operating systems and Internet Explorer mode!
Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge browser is specifically available for Windows operating systems, particularly Windows 11 and Windows 10. Other operating systems such as macOS or Linux do not have native Internet Explorer mode.However, for users of other operating systems, there are alternative solutions to view older websites or websites that may not be compatible with modern browsers:
1. Use a virtualization program:
You could use a virtualization software such as VMware or VirtualBox to create a virtual machine running a Windows operating system (e.g. Windows 10) and use Internet Explorer there.
2. Browser extensions or add-ons:
Some browsers, such as Some websites, such as Mozilla Firefox, may offer add-ons or extensions that allow websites to be viewed in Internet Explorer mode. However, these solutions may not be as seamless or complete as the native Internet Explorer mode in the Microsoft Edge browser.
3. Online Services:
There are online services that allow testing websites in different browsers and versions, including Internet Explorer. These services allow you to open the corresponding website over the Internet in a specific browser without having to install this browser on your own system.
It is important to note that Internet Explorer itself is a deprecated product and is no longer actively supported by Microsoft. For better security and performance, an update to more modern browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari is recommended.
3.) When should you use Internet Explorer mode under Windows 10 and 11!
Internet Explorer mode in the Microsoft Edge browser is useful when you want to access older websites that may not be compatible with modern browsers. Here are some scenarios where using Internet Explorer mode on Windows 10 and 11 might make sense:1. Compatibility with legacy applications:
Many companies use internal web applications or portals designed specifically for Internet Explorer. In such cases, Internet Explorer Mode can help keep these applications accessible without users having to open a separate browser.
2. Accessing outdated websites:
There are still websites on the Internet that have not been fully updated and may not function properly in modern browsers. Internet Explorer mode allows you to open and use such websites without encountering additional compatibility issues.
3. Security Settings:
In some cases, certain websites or applications require specific security settings or ActiveX controls that are only supported in Internet Explorer. Using Internet Explorer mode allows you to keep these settings while still enjoying the benefits of a modern browser like Microsoft Edge.
4. Enterprise environments:
In organizations that use specialized web applications based on Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer mode can provide a seamless way to use these applications in a modern browser such as Microsoft Edge without changing the entire infrastructure.
However, it is important to note that Internet Explorer itself is a deprecated product and is no longer actively supported by Microsoft. If possible, users should prefer modern browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as they are safer and more powerful. Internet Explorer mode should only be used as a temporary solution until a migration to more modern web technologies or applications can be performed.
