yes I would like to use ONLY ONE browser that fits all.
But then I NEED IE Mode. Creation of an sitelist.xml is not usable, as I have many different remote systems using many other ip ranges. Editing first the sitelist, reboot, and the connect to the system is not practical .
So I would like to see the option Open in IE Mode, if in flags the IE Mode is activated. So IE Mode would be visible only if activated in flags: Show IE Mode option.

Alexander Jacubowsky From my testing a reboot is not needed to update the sitelist. Relaunching the browser should do it.
- Alexander JacubowskyAug 23, 2019Brass ContributorOk. That's a bit better, but still you need to open a website find, that it is not working in Edge, maybe checking other browsers and find out, none of them can open it correctly. Then at the first time on that PC, you need to download the ADMX fils, create the Group Policy and create sitelist.xml. That's definetly not easy!
and for every new website, you have to edit the sitelist.xml restart browser and then you can hopefully open the website.
All in All that a nightmare for only opening an Website!!
I do not see ANY reason why the possibility to open a Website in IE Mode directly from Tools menu (like it at the moment is possible with command line and flags). In enterprises the manual opening of the IE mode could be prohibit using Group Policy or more easy:
If in Grouppolicy "InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel" is defined either 1 or 0, the option in Tools menu is no longer visible, but if the Policy is not set, the option is visible (optional only visible if enabled in flags).
Also possible you add an additional option to "InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel" 2, that means IE Mode is disabled.
So you have it clean for enterprise users
