Hi, I know it's a browser that's no longer supported by Microsoft, but it's still used by a lot of people. The basic rules pages do not display properly in IE11. First, the table of contents box was appearing on top of the main text. After a browser refresh, the table of contents appeared to the left of the main text, but then the main text was not word wrapped at the right edge of the window, i.e., the page became extremely wide and I had to scroll far to the right to read it. Just letting you know. Thanks.
One of the dev team would need to confirm, but my understanding is that IE 11 rendering doesn't include much of modern HTML/CSS standards, so to make the site work properly on IE11, the concession would be that the site functionality is significantly restricted.
It's awkward for the 3% of global users that are still on IE11, but not working within the constraints of IE11 rendering, allows the dev team to present the amazing quality, mobile-friendly, product that we currently have.
It seems crazy, but IE & Edge apparently make up less than 5% of users.
The w3schools browser page is interesting, as you can see the history of what browsers people were using as you go back in time (as far as 2002 anyway).
Edge is fairly up-to-date with standards, I've been using it as the main browser on my gaming PC. It's still very rough around the edges though (pun not intended). If you have the option of using a browser that isn't IE (edge is fine, as is firefox, chrome, safari, opera, vivaldi, etc.), I'd recommend doing that.
Also, don't trust w3schools, or any browser breakdown that only examines traffic going to a single website. They are not indicative of the internet user base as a whole, and will produce skewed data. Organizations such as NetMarketShare and StatCounter provide much better statistics as they aggregate data from across multiple sites. StatCounter estimates IE usage to be around 4.18%.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. Wow only 3%! I thought it was more. Maybe I should stop using this thing...
