Administrator Tarun Posted November 12, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 12, 2013 This is a very nice update to IE 10. Shame they can't make it a bit easier to update their Trident engine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think it sucks they enabled Do Not Track policy by default. That pretty much kills it and guarantees everyone will ignore it. :( IE 11 and I think 10 are supposed to auto-update though, there is a checkbox in the about dialog.

greenknight Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I don't see Do Not Track causing any problem - it's just wishful thinking, hardly any marketers honor it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Meanwhile, Microsoft-powered web servers not yet updated are still having difficulty recognizing IE 10 as a valid browser, never mind IE 11. What idiot hard-coded the recognition of IE in the browser-sniffing code built-in to Windows Server OS's as being IE followed by a single-digit number? .

Actually, I think on by default is a good thing. What greenknight said is true, some may not honor it, but it will still help for those that do. Meanwhile, Microsoft-powered web servers not yet updated are still having difficulty recognizing IE 10 as a valid browser, never mind IE 11. What idiot hard-coded the recognition of IE in the browser-sniffing code built-in to Windows Server OS's as being IE followed by a single-digit number? And how many devs didn't stop to see that and think to futureproof? Though, what pages are having issues rendering? I've not had any problems when I've used IE.
