Microsoft Edge

" summary

A browser lineage story that gives concrete reasons and outcomes not platitudes: Internet Explorer kept a compatibility mode that intentionally renders IE11 as IE6 to preserve enterprise sites so Microsoft accumulates decades of legacy bugs, then stops developing IE and builds Microsoft Edge as an evergreen browser, already shipping two iterations so far. Result: faster feature cadence like Chrome and Firefox, but enterprises must move to Windows 10 or stay stuck on unsupported IE versions.
