I just visited the apple.com website in the Internet Explorer and noticed, Internet Explorer opens the website directly in Edge and shows this page in the IE-window.
I'd like to implement this to my websites too, so i dont have to opimize all features for the IE. Do you have an idea, how this is possible?
I found this snippet, but it doesnt work: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
The answer is very simple can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/ie-to-microsoft-edge-redirection#request-an-update-to-the-ie-compatibility-list

In Edge, click the three dots (ellipsis) in the top right hand corner, then select Settings, then select Default Browser. There is then a heading "Let Internet Explorer open sites in Microsoft Edge".
Microsoft also maintains a list of all the sites that are incompatible with IE. Whenever IE can't render a website, it will automatically redirect you to Microsoft Edge. In other words, IE automatically launches Edge, inviting you to switch to the new web browser.
Run this code at the very start of your website :
if (isIE()) {
// We open the website in Chrome if it's IE, note that ActiveXObject only works on IE
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.run("Chrome https://google.com");
}
function isIE() {
ua = navigator.userAgent;
// MSIE used to detect old browsers and Trident used to newer ones
var is_ie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ") > -1 || ua.indexOf("Trident/") > -1;
return is_ie;
}It's a hack, but it should work if the user has active X enabled on his browser. If not, he'll get a prompt to enable it.
