supposedly, from what I have heard, it is a new browser with no legacy code base. And possibly that old IE plugins still work (not entirely sure on this last part).
- kuschku 11y agoIt doesn’t support any old IE plugins, it contains none of the IE/7/8/9/10 codebase, but instead is based on only the newly written parts of IE11, and it supports Firefox and Chrome addons.
- egeozcan 11y agoWow. Why aren't they marketing this? Creating a browser from scratch, considering the current state of web technologies is a huge undertaking. I always thought it's just a re-skinned IE with some touch features.
- icebraining 11y agoNot really from scratch, they forked Trident, removed the crap and built from there.
- __Joker 11y agoNot sure about IE plugins but it supports the plugin's from Firefox and Chrome[1]. Technical details would be interesting, but migrating would be little frictionless, if anybody want to try the Edge.
