Oh -- I stand corrected. Teaches me to ignore Microsoft for years... (I must say it's confusing the way IE11's settings are worded.) That makes IE11 even worse

That makes IE11 even worse since it hasn't abandoned compatibility and still performs incredibly badly. Maybe Microsoft is deliberately sabotaging it to move people towards "Edge".
- amyjess 11y agoThe problem is that you have all your corporate customers who still insist on using webapps written with ActiveX and webpages that are still accessed by IE6 users. They would be more than a little upset if Microsoft told them "we're not supporting you anymore". Microsoft is stuck here: they want to move on to modern web standards, but they can't afford to piss off their corporate customers. Their solution is to split the web browser, shipping Edge for the consumer market (and the modern members of the business market) that wants to interact with the modern web, but still continuing to provide IE11 along with the OS to keep their corporate dinosaur customers happy.
