IE Mode is a feature that allows us to specify that certain URLs should open in an “emulated IE” tab within the Edge browser. This means that you should probably start looking at alternatives to whatever sites you are using, if Flash is still a requirement. Nonetheless we are also able to use IE Mode with sites with Flash based content.īe aware that Adobe has announced that the 31st of december 2020 is the End of Life (EOL) for Flash Player. Seriously Hitachi, you need Adobe Flash in 2020? In all fairness I have to mention that I don’t know if my customer is on an older model of a Hitachi storage box, which for some reason can’t be updated. It turned out he was accessing a Hitachi storage web based configuration site, which needed Adobe Flash Player. So we had a short conversation about IE Mode, he knew about it and what the possibilities were with sites with java content. This is no longer the case, or technically it is, but we can now use “emulated IE” tabs, called IE Mode, within the Edge browser, so we don’t have to leave the browser when accessing legacy sites.Ī couple of days ago I was helping a customer, and I noticed that he had Edge running, but Internet Explorer was also running in the same session. In my article about how to configure Edge via group policy, I finish off by showing that it is possible to run sites with java content in Edge, something we historically had to use Internet Explorer to do. This browser is also available and supported in a Windows Server operating system.ĭuring the last 6 months I have written a couple of articles about how to install and configure the new Edge browser, I have even penned an article about how to remove the pesky pinned takbar shortcut, which is created during the first launch of Edge.
A direction where we have a fully supported and modern browser with the new Edge browser based on the Chromium project. It’s now time to look in a different direction.
For years it was the only Microsoft supported browser in a Windows Server operating system, even when Edge (the 1st) was released we still had to make due with Internet Explorer in Windows Server operating systems. Internet Explorer has had a very, very good run and it has been a good browser.
