Microsoft has announced expiry of Internet Explorer & also provided replacement option as IE (Internet Explorer) mode inside Edge Browser for legacy applications.
However, I am exploring more information on below points-
Whether IE Mode option is secure ?
What are the limitation or drawbacks of IE Mode option as compared to using Internet Explorer Desktop Browser (or other Browsers)?
Thanks in advance.
Whether IE Mode option is secure?
IE mode is as secure as IE 11. It uses the Trident MSHTML engine from Internet Explorer 11.
What are the limitation or drawbacks of IE Mode option as compared to using Internet Explorer Desktop Browser (or other Browsers)?
The limitation to use IE mode is that it doesn't support some functionality that IE desktop browser has. For a list of what is supported and what is not supported in IE mode, you can refer to this doc.
When compared with Edge, of course Edge is faster, more secure, and more modern. For more information, you can refer to this blog: The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge.

Does anyone know which browser Outlook-web uses for addins on a mac?
background: I am developing an addin for outlook web on a mac and I'm making use of a bootstrap collapsable panel. I also have two icons that I want to have to the left and right of the title, however, the anchor tag used to expand / collapse the panel is forcing a line break. I am wondering if this issue is something in my css or a browser issue since setting display: inline on the anchor tag does nothing.
According to MS documentation Webkit rendering engine is used, which is nothing but the Safari browser (with limited functionality) is used.
According to Microsoft
Any browser that supports ECMAScript 5.1, HTML5, and CSS3, such as
Internet Explorer 11 or later, or the latest version of Microsoft
Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (Mac OS).
I am trying to set default browser for the add-in I am using to chrome, but by default it takes IE always. How do I change this
I assume you are talking about a scenario where your add-in generates a new browser window/popup. On Windows, this will always be Internet Explorer.
Keep in mind that for all Office desktop variants, add-ins are hosted within an embedded browser instance. For Windows machines, this is an embedded Internet Explorer instance. For Mac machines, it uses an embedded Webkit instance. When you open a new window, popup or follow a link it will always be executed within that same instance.
I recently went to do a demo of some a CRM solution I had been developing but when I tried displaying it on my MAC in firefox and chrome it comes up with the mobile interface. The instance will never be used on mobile devices so I want to disable this functionality for the whole site...How do I do this?
I had the same issue when I opened crm on firefox (on explorer and chrome it was ok), I assume you are using roll up 12 since only from this rollup you have other browsers besides internet explorer integration.
The issue with me was that for some reason, it opened the "default.aspx" page, which opened this url:
https://mydomain:444/m/default.aspx
When the correct address should be:
https://mydomain:444/main.aspx#
I'm also guessing that you have set up ADFS..
I had the same problem and what helped for me was to add the site to the Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.
If you're using IE 11, try compatibility mode. Settings -> Compatibility View Settings
I am developing a website in ASP.NET MVC, using the latest IE and Chrome for testing. It looks fine, but there are some quirks on older browsers like IE 6/7. Sadly, client base is rural, and I saw some people running IE 6 and 7 on their systems, this web site just doesn't look what it is.
Installing different versions and copying pasting an address 10-15 times is painful. I already have (all latest) Opera, Firefox, IE and Chrome. So, I am looking for emulating older browsers.
Is there any way, I can emulate browsers' different versions especially IE and Firefox.
You can use portable versions of Firefox to be able to run them simultaneously, as for IE you can use IE Collections which contains different versions of IE :
Utilu IE Collection contains the following versions of IE:
Internet Explorer 1.0 (4.40.308)
Internet Explorer 1.5 (0.1.0.10)
Internet Explorer 2.01 (2.01.046)
Internet Explorer 3.0 (3.0.1152)
Internet Explorer 3.01 (3.01.2723)
Internet Explorer 3.03 (3.03.2925)
Internet Explorer 4.01 (4.72.3110.0)
Internet Explorer 5.01 (5.00.3314.2100)
Internet Explorer 5.5 (5.51.4807.2300)
Internet Explorer 6.0 (6.00.2800.1106)
Internet Explorer 6.0 (6.00.2900.2180)
Internet Explorer 7.0 (7.00.5730.13)
Internet Explorer 8.0 (8.00.6001.18702)

It looks like IE is the most problematic browser when using open standard so u can test using
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Internet-Explorer-Collection-Download-105889.html.
I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
and here can you see all browser versions as picture
http://browsershots.org/
I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.
