This is where you can adjust various aspects of the Edge browser to your liking.&#x20;
4. **Go to Default Browser Settings**: Within the Settings, locate and click on 'Default browser'.

5. **Enable IE Mode**: Look for the option labelled 'Internet Explorer compatibility'. Here, you will find a setting that allows you to 'Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode'. Turn this option on to enable IE compatibility mode.\

6. **Restart Edge**: After changing this setting, Edge may prompt you to restart the browser for the changes to take effect. Close and reopen Edge to complete the process.
7. **Using IE Mode**: Once IE mode is enabled, you can reload any website in Internet Explorer mode by clicking on the three dots in the browser's top-right corner and selecting 'Reload in Internet Explorer mode' from the menu. <img src="https://542252461-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FHv7PWvFt0OOwp9b96Xpz%2Fuploads%2F4vbflnVABpvtU5SPHQac%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=9ba36a42-befd-407f-a16b-2243a481ca0e" alt="" data-size="line">\
