Browser developers always improve web browsers for better rendering of certain authoring tools. As a result users get latest version of browsers. This is good for us because in every developed version we get many new features. But the problem is about Blog or website compatibility.
Whenever a new version of web browser release with new rendering engine, then our website become incompatible with new browser. And this is happening especially with Internet Explorer. As far as I can remember Internet Explorer 7 was built with the most advances in CSS support. But when Internet Explorer 8 released then they have included completely new rendering engine, because of advancement of CSS. At the time CSS 2.1 version was released. As a result Microsoft used completely new rendering engine on Internet Explorer 8. But development process is not static. For the time being we will get latest version of Internet Explorer with updated features. But our Blog should make compatible for it.
Recently Microsoft has released completely new Edge browser which is also known as Internet Explorer 11. Edge browsers mainly developed for quick search and more compatible with latest CSS support. And this is also released with brand new rendering engine. But to make our Blogger site compatible with Edge we must take some extra steps.
But many Internet Explorer users become dissatisfied due to browsers performance but don�t be unhappy because the main target of browser development is to make it easy to implement by hand or in an authoring tool.
I know you are worried about making your Blog site with edge compatible, but no worries, we can make our site edge compatible by adding a simple META tag.
