Let’s Discuss What IE Mode Is

Recently, Microsoft has announced significant changes to Internet Explorer mode (IE mode), Microsoft Edge’s legacy compatibility mode. This news comes after they stated Internet Explorer 11’s end of service is just months away (June 15, 2022). So what is IE mode and what is it used for?

Microsoft explains it below:

We created Internet Explorer (IE) mode in Microsoft Edge for organizations that still need Internet Explorer 11 for backward compatibility with existing websites but also need a modern browser. This feature makes it easier for organizations to use one browser, for legacy web/apps or for a modern web/app.

To make it work, make sure your operating system has the most recent Windows and Microsoft Edge updates installed. If you choose not to do so, the performance of IE mode will almost surely suffer as a result.
