Here’ what was said at Microsoft’s ‘Build’ developers conference about Edge.
There will be a new “IE Mode” for Edge that will allow businesses to load old Sites directly in the new Edge Chromium browser, using the Internet Explorer rendering engine.
For this, Microsoft is building IE directly into Edge. Businesses will no longer be forced to directly use IE for old Sites.
The new Internet Explorer mode will seamlessly render legacy IE-only Content in high fidelity inside of Microsoft Edge, without the need to open a separate browser or for the user to change any settings manually.
Microsoft also previewed an early concept for new privacy tools in Microsoft Edge, based on customer feedback. Clients had complained that it’s too hard to understand how their data was being used by Sites across the Web, & that they never fell in control of their own data when browsing.
The privacy dashboard concept allows users to choose from clearly labelled preset levels of information sharing, which will automatically configure the browser to protect users, with options to configure the exposure to 3rd party tracking and the impact to Site compatibility.
All you nerds may head here to read up the rest.
