Microsoft will forcibly open some websites in Edge instead of Internet Explorer
Found on ZD Net on Friday, 30 October 2020
This forced IE-to-Edge behavior is part of Microsoft's Internet Explorer deprecation plans.
Big names on the list include the likes of YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Yahoo Mail, StackOverflow, StackExchange, VK, ESPN, Chase, Hotstar, Moneygram, eharmony, and GoDaddy, just to name a few.
This means that starting with next month, most IE users won't be able to load these sites inside Internet Explorer, and every time they will try, the site will be opened inside a new Edge window.
A company that tries to force-feed another browser down your throat should expect that a certain percentage of users will switch to another browser indeed. Just not to the browser MS expected. If you want migration, discontinue your old product, but don't take websites as hostages.
