Ie Edge Chrome

  



Later this year, Chromium Edge will get an IE mode, which “integrates Internet Explorer directly into the new Microsoft Edge via a tab.” IE mode means you can browse the broader web.

Note

This article applies to Microsoft Edge Stable version 87 or later.

Overview

  • Microsoft Edge is a cross-platform web browser developed by Microsoft.It was first released for Windows 10 and Xbox One in 2015, then for Android and iOS in 2017, for macOS in 2019, and as a preview for Linux in October 2020.
  • The new Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features, it's the only browser you'll ever need. Try the new Microsoft Edge now.

Many modern websites have designs that are incompatible with Internet Explorer. Whenever an Internet Explorer user visits an incompatible public site, they get a message that tells them the site is incompatible with their browser, and they need to manually switch to a different browser.

The need to manually switch to a different browser changes starting with Microsoft Edge Stable version 87.

When a user goes to a site that is incompatible with Internet Explorer, they will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge. This article describes the user experience for redirection and the group policies that are used to configure or disable automatic redirection.

Note

Microsoft maintains a list of all sites that are known to be incompatible with Internet Explorer. For more information, see Request updates to the incompatible sites list

Redirection experience

On redirection to Microsoft Edge, users are shown the one-time dialog in the next screenshot. This dialog explains why they're getting redirected and prompts for consent to copy their browsing data and preferences from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge. The following browsing data will be imported: Favorites, Passwords, Search engines, open tabs, History, settings, cookies, and the Home Page.

Compatibility

Even if they don't give their consent by checking 'Always bring over my browsing data and preferences from Internet Explorer', they can click Continue browsing to continue their session.

Finally, a website incompatibility banner, shown in the next screenshot, appears below the address bar for every redirection.

The website incompatibility banner:

  • encourages the user to switch to Microsoft Edge
  • offers to make Microsoft Edge as the default browser
  • gives the user the option to explore Microsoft Edge

When a site is redirected from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge, the Internet Explorer tab that started loading the site is closed if it had no prior content. Otherwise, the active tab view goes to a Microsoft support page that explains why the site was redirected to Microsoft Edge.

Note

After a redirection users can go back to using Internet Explorer for sites that are not on the Internet Explorer incompatibility list.

Policies to configure redirection to Microsoft Edge

Ie Edge Chrome

Note Cubase 9.

These policies will be available as ADMX file updates by October 26, 2020 and will be available in Intune by November 9, 2020.

Three group policies must be configured to enable automatic redirection to Microsoft Edge. These policies are:

  • RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerPreventBHOInstall
  • RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerRedirectMode
  • HideInternetExplorerRedirectUXForIncompatibleSitesEnabled

Policy: RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerPreventBHOInstall

Redirection from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge requires an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object (BHO) named 'IEtoEdge BHO'. The RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerPreventBHOInstall policy controls whether or not this BHO is installed.

  • If you enable this policy, the BHO required for redirection will not be installed and your users will continue to see incompatibility messages for certain websites on Internet Explorer. If the BHO is already installed, it will be uninstalled the next time the Microsoft Edge Stable channel is updated.
  • If you disable or don't configure this policy, the BHO will be installed. This is the default behavior.

In addition to needing the BHO, there is a dependency on the RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerRedirectMode, which needs to be set to 'Redirect sites based on the incompatible sites sitelist' or 'Not Configured'.

Policy: RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerRedirectMode

This policy corresponds to the Microsoft Edge Default browser setting 'Let Internet Explorer open sites in Microsoft Edge'. You can access this setting by going to the edge://settings/defaultbrowser URL.

  • If you don't configure this policy or set it to 'Sitelist', Internet Explorer will redirect incompatible sites to Microsoft Edge. This is the default behavior.
  • To disable this policy, select Enabled AND then in the dropdown under Options: Redirect incompatible sites from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge, select Disable. In this state, incompatible sites aren't redirected to Microsoft Edge.

Note

If you're on a personal device that isn't managed by your organization, you'll see another setting named 'Allow sites to be loaded in Internet Explorer mode' under Internet Explorer compatibility.

If you're on a domain joined or Mobile Device Management (MDM) enrolled device, you won't see this option.

Instead, if you want to let your users load sites in Internet Explorer mode, you can do so by configuring the policy Allow Internet Explorer mode testing.

Policy: HideInternetExplorerRedirectUXForIncompatibleSitesEnabled

This policy configures the user experience for incompatible site redirection to Microsoft Edge.

  • If you enable this policy, users never see the one-time redirection dialog and the redirection banner. No browser data or user preferences are imported.

  • If you disable or don't configure this policy, the redirection dialog will be shown on the first redirection and the persistent redirection banner will be shown for sessions that start with a redirection.

    Note

    User browsing data will be imported every time a user encounters a new redirection. However, this only happens if the user consented to the import on the one-time redirection dialog.

Disable redirection to Microsoft Edge

If you want to disable redirection BEFORE updating to Microsoft Edge Stable version 87, use the following step:

  1. Set the RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerPreventBHOInstall policy to Enabled.

Reproducing the Issue

Ie=edge Chrome=1

  1. Go to the user's Learning Plan.
  2. Try launching a course which the content is hosted in iContent.
  3. See one of the symptoms

Cause

LMS and BizX are 2 different systems that are integrated to work together, both systems have different URLs, LMS having the plateau(https://***.plateau.com) URL and BizX having the performance manager (https://performancemanager*.successfactors.com) URL.

By nature Internet Explorer is more meticulous when it comes to user access in the system as compared other browsers. IE has the capability to regulate the user access in the system and as a security mechanism it will notice the URL change and would translate this as a security issue thus blocking any further access. To make sure that IE does not treat our LMS URL https://***.plateau.com as a security issue, we need to tell IE to exempt the connection via placing the proper URLs on the trusted sites list.

If you are using Google Chrome, please scroll to the end of the resolution section where we have linked 2 articles that will assist you on setting popups and site permissions.

Resolution

Here are the elements that need to be adjusted to resolve such issues, please adjust them in this order and test after each change is done until the issue is resolved:

  1. Adding Trusted Sites
    Go to IE then navigate to Tools> Internet Options>Security> Trusted sites> Sites.
    Add “https://*.plateau.com”, 'https://*.successfactors.com' and 'https://*.successfactors.eu'
    NOTE: For instances hosted in Preview datacenters we need to add 'https://*.sapsf.com' and https://*.sapsf.eu to the list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer.

  2. Clearing Temporary files and cookies
    Go to IE then navigate to Tools> > Internet Options> General Tab, under browsing History, click “Delete…”.
    In the pop-up, select “Preserve Favorites website data”, “Temporary Internet Files and website files” and “Cookies and website data”, then click “Delete”.

  3. Disabling the Pop-up Blocker
    This can be done by going to Tools> Internet options> Security Tab>Trusted Sites> Custom Level. In the list displayed, you will need to locate “Use Pop-up Blocker” and select “Disable”, then click OK.
  4. Disabling the Protected Mode
    This can be done by going to Tools> Internet options> Security Tab: “Enable Protected Mode” box can be unchecked here before clicking OK.
    NOTE: There are absolutely no other security concerns after adding trusted sites.
