Microsoft Edge is a new browser and rendering engine replacing Windows Internet Explorer. This new browser is designed to be interoperable with the web. This design allows for a simplification of architecture and design. Microsoft Edge removes the functionality to switch document modes and only renders in an interoperable standards compliant way (using the EdgeHTML engine). The following features have been removed in Microsoft Edge:

  • Document Modes: Removed, always uses EdgeHTML

  • Developer tools (F12) emulation switching: Removed

  • X-UA-Compatibility Meta Tag and HTTP Response Header: Removed

  • Compatibility View settings: Removed
