I'm trying to use IE11, but the #1 issue I find are document modes.
I often find sites which set the wrong document mode (ex. IE9), and the site behaves broken in comparison with the IE11 document mode. (Basically people taking for granted that every IE is a faulty browser, and giving up completely).
Plus, having zero ability to tell IE: "Fuck the Internet, I want to use the newest document mode for everything!!!" is a really negative misfeature.
If anyone from the IE team reads this: Please, add a system policy to force a document mode unless compatibility mode is enabled.
- dmethvin 12y agoIt's a question of who gets the last word, though. Originally I thought that web devs should have the last word about IE document mode, because darn it, they own their site. After seeing so many sites that seem to be unmaintained (or maintained by uninformed devs) I am also leaning towards the user having the ultimate say.
- Aldo_MX 12y agoI personally think that the configuration set by web developers should be respected by default, but the same way there is a "Compatibility Mode" that enforces a legacy document mode, there should be something that enforces the most recent document mode.

I felt it prudent to leave out the suggested name, as much as I like it ;) [1] https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-internet-explorer-platform/suggestions/6562548-allow-users-to-force-doc-mode-for-all-sites https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-internet-explorer-...
