Does this mean that we will no longer be able to import Excel spreadsheets as Lists?

I am unable to do it in Edge (or Firefox for that matter), as it requires ActiveX controls. I am only able to do it in IE.

Hi Luke Brandt, you can still use IE11 for this functionality, which remains supported. We will eventually update these functionalities so that they can run in other browsers that don't support ActiveX as well, but we don't have a timeline for that yet.

  Hi,
  
  What is required to insure my SharePoint Online site collections are prepped to operate in IE 11? Would this be something that i have to change on the master page of my site collections. Currently in SPO, the Master page is set to IE=10 support.
  
  Any insight would be greatly appreciated,
