Please note that IE Tab for Windows does require the use of a separate executable, ietabhelper.exe. IE Tab exactly emulates Internet Explorer, and enables you to load your web pages with different versions of IE (IE7 - IE11)įULLY SUPPORTED IN WINDOWS 11 AND AFTER INTERNET EXPLORER IS REMOVED IN FEBRUARY 2023.

Use Java, Silverlight, ActiveX, Sharepoint, and more. The “E” has been dropped in favour of a wave that is presumably to differentiate between Internet Explorer and “new” Edge.Display web pages using IE within Chrome. Microsoft has also rebranded the logo for “new” Edge. The “Collections” feature will be used to collect web content for research which should then be easy to export to Word, Excel or any of the other Microsoft programs (sorry they also call them apps now) I mean Apps. This could make developing extensions for “new” Edge easier, and provide a unified experience for developers / designers & users alike. What’s different in “new” Edge is the shift to the Chromium engine, which incidentally also powers Google Chrome & many other apps. Microsoft launching a new version of Edge for Mac shows a renewed interest in the Macintosh market, which is only good news for us, Mac users. So you’ll want to make sure it looks great & can be presented in Edge.


Well you can almost guarantee that the latest creative project you are completing for your client is about to be viewed on a Windows PC that will have Edge installed. Why do we care? What’s going to be good about Edge for Mac? It’s actually big news as the last time a Web Browser from Microsoft was available on the Mac it was Internet Explorer 5 which saw the end of a 5 year partnership between Apple & Microsoft where Internet Explorer was bundled with MacOs and was the default browser.įollowing several years of antitrust actions against Microsoft for bundling their web browser with their operating system & Apple’s announcement it was going to launch its own Safari in 2003 Microsoft effectively cancelled any updates to Internet Explorer for Macintosh. So the Tech world’s software giant has released a version of its web browser for MacOs again after a 17-year absence.
