Still, for the time being at least, IE 10 can claim the crown on Windows 8 tablets.Enable Internet Explorer 10 Compatibility Mode That means odds are Chrome and Firefox will reach feature parity on touchscreens before IE 10 sees a major update. It's all or nothing.įor now IE 10 is better on touchscreens and more or less on par in the desktop interface, but both Chrome and Firefox release updates every six weeks, while feature-adding IE updates tend to be years apart. Unfortunately – and this may well be IE 10's fatal flaw – there's no way to make IE 10 the default app for the Windows 8 Metro UI and another browser the default for the desktop interface. If you're an IE 9 fan looking for a solid update, IE 10 has you covered, if you're already a happy Chrome or Firefox user there's nothing in IE 10 on the desktop that's likely to tempt you. From tests I've seen around the web IE 10 benchmarks well on the desktop and, as we've looked at before, it has much improved web standards support, but without the touchscreen features there's not much to recommend IE 10 over alternatives like Chrome or Firefox. There's also a version of IE 10 that runs in Windows 8 desktop mode, though on the desktop there's not nearly as much to recommend IE over competitors. However Flash support in Metro mode is limited to a whitelist of approved sites, so YouTube videos work, but other sites, like Rdio, do not. IE 10's tablet interface did end up supporting Flash, despite Microsoft's initial claim that it would not. There is a way to disable it when you first start IE 10, but it involves choosing the advanced setup option, which most users are unlikely to do. It's worth noting that, protests not withstanding, Microsoft has indeed shipped Internet Explorer 10 with Do Not Track web tracking protection enabled.
