Any additional feedback? Note This article applies to Microsoft Edge Stable version 87 or later. Note Microsoft maintains a list of all sites that are known to be incompatible with Internet Explorer. Note After a redirection users can go back to using Internet Explorer for sites that are not on the Internet Explorer incompatibility list.
