Computer store news: Win10 preview version upgraded to Build9879, brought a series of improvements and new features, including more complete window animation, and IE11 also got a very important interaction Sexual upgrades, and these new features are likely to be introduced into IE12 in the future WP10.

The IE development team listed the features of the new version of IE11, with more than 2,000 interactivity issues being fixed and supporting 19 new platform features while re-architecting the architecture. The interoperability and compatibility of the browser has been greatly improved, and the Edge file mode is the main topic.

First, let's take a look at the Edge file mode:

“ The so-called Edge mode is the highlight of this IE11 update, it is a new file mode with super high interoperability, through this mode Developers are able to develop a fairly successful interactive mode browsing in WP8.1 GDR1 into Windows 10. ”

According to Weibo users @chaotic sequence, in order to embrace the new mobile standard, the new kernel will not be compatible with the old IE page. IE12 will come with dual-core, open "ldquo; enterprise mode" when the old core, compatible with the old standard. The default mode is the new core, which will continue to upgrade and maintain compatibility with all common standards of the network, including WebKit.

By enabling Edge mode, IE compatibility and interactivity will be greatly improved. Similar to the current IE11 feature in WP8.1 GDR1, you can use Webkit mode to access any page. Now let's take a look IE11 performance in Edge mode.

▲To enable Edge mode, you need to enter about:flags in the IE11 address bar to enter the test function page, the same way as Chrome's about:flags.

You can see the interactive mode options in the Custom User Agent column. The current browser mode is listed in the input box and can be used without changes.

After setting it to Enabled, you can turn on interactive mode.

▲ At this time, visit https://www.whatismybrowser.com/, the webpage will show that you are using Chrome 31 on Win7, but the actual running environment is Win10 Preview 9879, browser Browse browser 11 for IE.

Let's do a few website tests. I think the IE11 version of Windows Phone 8.1 can't access the Taobao touch screen version a long time ago. Many users understand it. To this end, Taobao specifically added the old version of the page entry for Windows users, we will use this page to test the compatibility of the new version of IE11 interactive mode for Webkit.

▲ First close the interactive mode of IE11, visit Taobao touch screen version http://m.taobao.com/, encounter the same problem encountered by IE11 in WP8.1, Unable to jump properly, and there is an old entry prompt.

▲ Entering the Taobao page through the old version of the portal, the results are terrible, and can't be viewed normally.

▲ Open the interactive mode of IE11, and then visit the Taobao touch screen version http://m.taobao.com/, successfully jump and display normal.

The above results show that, as described by the IE development team, the new version of IE11 in Win10 Preview 9879 has greatly improved interactivity, while being enhanced with compatibility. Now IE is more compatible with webkit. Going up a floor.

▲ However, it is gratifying that IE11 in WP8.1 GDR1 version can access http://m.taobao.com/normally. It seems that Taobao has done IE11 on WP8.1 GDR1 version. A certain optimization.
