Can you explain further why this meta node is being removed?
As mentioned in the linked source the meta is only used by ancient IE versions (6 years EOL!). |
@Rotzbua But there are still some people are using IE8 or IE9, right? Should we ignore them nowadays? Thanks and Regards |
There are always "some" people using ancient software. The current statistics from browserslist claims for IE 5.5-9 about 0.14% globally. Most modern web frameworks kicked the support for lower than IE 11. From a dev perspective I think it is hard to keep IE 8/9 support because you need a test setup 😄 |
The meta tag is used for IE lower than 11. But all IE versions are EOL: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/06/15/internet-explorer-11-has-retired-and-is-officially-out-of-support-what-you-need-to-know/
