I assume IE mode is vulnerable to XSS attacks that the normal Chromium mode protects against. So a user might be duped into thinking they are safe when they visit a random site that forces IE mode. Because it&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;totally seamless&amp;quot; they won&amp;#x27;t notice. Better yet, it only affects business users, the prime target for XSS.</text></comment>

A bunch of businesses mandate IE11 to ensure compatibility with unmaintained internal systems; if they can use Edge in IE11 mode, there&amp;#x27;s no reason to use the IE11 app.&lt;p&gt;(This really makes me wish IE11 mode had been a feature of Edge from the very beginning. Think of how much time we&amp;#x27;ve lost!)</text></comment>
