Internet Explorer 11 Is the Latest IE Browser

The IE11 or internet explorer 11 is the latest version of the Internet Explorer series which is a Microsoft product. The ie11 is said to function with all the latest security updates until the January of 2023 and that is when the lifecycle of Windows 8.1 gets terminated. IE11 has all redesigned developer tools that support WebGL. It also has an enhanced scaling for high DPI screens. Internet Explorer 11 supports Orientation APIs and Full Screen, a CSS border image support, all Java Script enhancements, Web Cryptography, DOM mutation observers, encrypted media support, video text track support and also a very much improved HTML editor. Apart from all these the IE11 also uses a transport layer security as it is the default protocol for all secure connections for Windows RT. It does not support the Java application and the other add ons. Based on latest news, it has been learnt that ie11 is the latest version of internet explorer and there is not much time to upgrade from IE8 to IE11. It is recommended to do so as soon as possible or defaulters will not be able to avail IE services.

The features removed

• The IE11 has depreciated the code document.all which means that the code that is known for checking for its presence will not detect it at all. However the code that is most probably going to use it will simply continue to work. Additionally, the proprietary API has successfully been removed.     
• The quick tabs that is CTRL + Q.

• The ability to work offline is removed from file menu.

• Dragging and dropping of the selected content from internet explorer to various other programs like Word pad and Word.

• Usage of large icons for the command buttons.

• There are various group policy settings that are not supported anymore.

• Viewing ability of cooking at once using developer tools.

• The ability of disabling the tabbed browsing.

Additional features

The HTTP Strict Transport Security has been added to Internet Explorer 11.

Performance of IE11
Many reviews of IE11 were performed in the past. In more than one review it was found that the ie11 has a better score when compared to Firefox 26 and Google Chrome 30 and these are two or four of the benchmarks that are tied for the fastest. Because of these significant speed improvements, the reviewer had said that if you managed to switch to chrome for a speed alone, you will be using the wrong browser.

If you are still running on the older version of Internet Explorer, Microsoft is giving you some additional time to upgrade to IE11. The time was until January 2016. Thus you must do it as soon as possible in order to avoid discontinuation of this amazing service. This is a warning given by Microsoft. IE8 will no longer receive any updates starting the 12th of January, 2016. Thus it is recommended to upgrade from IE8 to IE11, otherwise you will not be able to use internet explorer.
