1 isn't exclusive to them, so doesn't add to their point of being "native." 2 comes with a ton of caveats, if I'm not mistaken. Other browsers also take advantage of graphics cards for certain kinds of rendering.
I have no evidence for this, but I think that IE is trying to ride on the positive association people have for "native apps" on mobile phones.
- praeclarum 15y agoI don't see how exclusivity has anything at all to do with a technical point (I am considering "native" a technical point.) But I'm tired of defending them. I honestly just don't understand people's negativity. I'll say it again, better browsers make for a better web. You can laugh at their marketing pitch, but we should all be excited that they put a thoroughbred horse in the race.
- wikyd 15y agoWhen they claim they are the only native browser, then the feature set that defines native better be exclusive to them. It's not negativity to call bullshit on a claim. There are plenty of things Microsoft could be touting about their browser without making up marketing speak.
