Please also allow all useres to open an webpage in IE Mode using Menu-Tools-Open in Internet Explorer.
Often IoT devices like video recorder, IP, cams and network devices as well as older Webpages require IE Mode.
So also non Enterprise customer would need this mode.
Best would be to enable normal customers to,add an website to an list of sites always opened in IE mode, without need to implement an group policy and local domain.
Tis list can be saved the way the enterprise list is saved.
We just asked our web developers and web based app owners to start testing Edge Chromium with their sites. We do have IE Mode configured in our enterprise, and we can add sites they need to the list, but it sure would be great if they could just manually enable IE Mode for a site so they could just test it right there without having us to update the Enterprise Mode XML file each time they want to test something.
We also have the case where some power users want to use some of the features in SharePoint that only work in IE, but we don't want to put our SharePoint sites in IE Mode for everyone. Giving power users the option within Edge Chromium to launch SharePoint in IE Mode just when they want to would be great.
Yes, they could just go use IE that's still installed, but we really want to promote the use of just a single browser, Edge Chromium to do it all. 🙂Those types of devices you mentioned are relatively all new, i don't really think they need IE to run. o.O
EVEN if by any chance they need the IE then you can just go ahead and USE Internet explorer that is already on Windows. i don't understand why you need to use it inside the new Edge. O.o

It seems a lot of Folks don't know or realise IE is in their OS. IE on its own... w/out any need to pull it up through any browser. It seems some people are aware that it is in their OS & always has been.
I am not certain if I have actually read it as in anything official... but, it sure is my hunch that once Edge is replaced by Edge C AND IE Mode is available for Enterprise, (actual) IE availability elsewhere would end. Its day are numbered & have been for a while.
The only reason it has lingered (after Edge came along... Edge was a replacement for IE) is for Enterprise. Ergo, w/ IE Mode for Enterprise, actual IE can be put out to pasture.
For general Users the issue is not a need a for old IE, but, a need for contemporary software... it's vendors & manufactures that need to climb out of the dark ages & not be giving people IE exclusive products. It's dumb of them to offer stuff (only) for a browser that is hot on the heels of the dodo bird.
Cheers,
DrewHotCakeX I was informed, that later this year, after installation of new Edge the Old Edge and IE will be removed from the desktop, so it can't be used any longer.
- Is there any official document or link that says Microsoft is gonna remove IE from Windows?
i have an video station from hikvision from 2017. it needs an active x plugin to display video .
it do not work in any other browser but edge in ie mode will also work.
also i have an older network switch from HP that need ie or is mode.
if you mention IE to use, why you integrate IE Mode in Edge? Also enterprise could use IE forever ?
I like the Interface of Edge together with the IE capability if needed.
