Karlston Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 “Show using Internet Explorer” option removed from Chromium Edge It was at the Build 2019 developer conference where Microsoft first announced IE Mode for their Chromium-based Edge browser. After enabling a flag, you could then use Internet Explorer within a tab in Edge. Only a few weeks later, the “Show this page using Internet Explorer” option in the menu isn’t there anymore, even if you still have the flag enabled. Unfortunately, only IT admins will be able to open websites in IE mode from now on, as per the security model. Reportedly, the reason for the feature disappearing is because IE Mode is meant to be an enterprise feature. The option to manually launch a site in an IE tab was meant for “debugging purposes”. Here’s how the Microsoft blog explains the function of the Internet Explorer Mode in Edge: One of the features available for evaluation is Internet Explorer mode, a feature that integrates IE11 natively into Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode allows users to navigate seamlessly from a modern web application to one that requires legacy HTML or plugins. You’ll no longer need a “two-browser” solution. We know that most of our customers are using IE11 in their environments. One thing that our customers made clear to us is that their web apps that rely on IE11 tend to be critical to many of their business processes. The apps work well and don’t change, which allows customers to focus their IT resources on other problem areas. Any solution we provide would need to just work with their sites. The team designed Internet Explorer mode to meet that need, with a goal of 100% compatibility with sites that work today in IE11, including full support for IE’s doc modes, as well as ActiveX controls, like Silverlight and Browser Helper Objects (BHOs). In addition, Internet Explorer mode appears visually like it’s just a part of the next Microsoft Edge, providing users with the latest UI features, like a smarter address bar and new tab page, and greater privacy controls for the modern web. By leveraging the Enterprise mode site list that many customers have already built and deployed to support the two-browser solution, IT professionals can enable users of the next Microsoft Edge to simply navigate to IE11-dependent sites and they will just work. Navigating back to a modern site will be seamless. No need for a separate window or tab. From now on, unless you’re an IT admin, the function isn’t for you. You can still use Internet Explorer the old fashioned way if you really miss it.

Kalju Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It's hard to say what's going on, but by now they've made it so cumbersome and egregious that you don't even need to measure it - visibly slower than Chrome and can't open many pages one first time, is needed to refresh. Also is very annoying to see so large icons on extensions menu, especially large empty space between icons. Currently it is about twice slower as Chrome. Fantastic Microsoft work. Apparently, it will become another unusable (unworthy for use) Microsoft gadget. If somebody is interested, then all up-to-date download links for Windows 10 are available here.

Karlston Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Only Microsoft Edge Enterprise will support Internet Explorer Mode Work on the Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge continues. Microsoft has published beta versions of the upcoming web browser for various operating systems up until now. The company uses the same classifications as Google to differentiate between different test versions. Microsoft Edge Canary is the cutting edge version; other beta versions are Microsoft Edge Dev and Beta. The final version has not been released yet and many expect its initial release when Microsoft releases the first feature update of 2020 for Windows 10. Microsoft revealed plans for the Enterprise version of Microsoft Edge recently on the Microsoft Edge Dev blog. A roadmap highlights features that are available already in Enterprise versions of Edge and features that will be available soon or in the future. The features will be Enterprise-exclusive and one of the listed features is support for Internet Explorer mode. Put simply, Internet Explorer mode is designed to load certain resources such as internal websites using Microsoft's Internet Explorer rendering engine automatically in Microsoft Edge. A one-browser solution that makes things more comfortable for users and less error-prone at the same time as it is no longer required to use two-browsers for that purpose. Internet Explorer mode is a compatibility mode to load webpages that require certain technologies, e.g. ActiveX or Browser Helper Objects, to avoid compatibility issues. Microsoft Edge cannot load these by default because it does not support certain technologies that Internet Explorer supports. IE Mode requires that administrators enable the policy "Configure Internet Explorer integration" and define the sites that should be loaded automatically in the mode. Two options, loading all Intranet sites or specifying sites using the Enterprise Site List XML, are available. Internet Explorer mode was available in non-Enterprise versions of Microsoft Edge previously, and part of the confusion surrounding it came from that integration. Techdows managed to get an answer from Microsoft about it. Microsoft stated that the entry was added to these versions for "internal debugging purposes only". The company removed it when IE mode was released officially. That menu entry was always intended only for internal debugging purposes, and we've removed it now that IE mode is formally released. IE mode is a enterprise-only feature. Only the admin controls whether a site ends up in IE mode or not (this is key to the security model). Administrators of Enterprise machines can check out the official IE Mode guide on the Microsoft Docs website. Note that IE Mode is only available on Windows 10 devices running at least Windows 10 version 1809. Internet Explorer remains an option on Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows. Web developers may use it to test webpages and everyone else may use it to load Internet sites just fine. It is certainly possible that public sites will only load in Internet Explorer.
