IE mode for Microsoft Edge to Access ALM

What is Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge?

IE mode on Microsoft Edge enables users to open both legacy and modern sites in a single browser. It uses the integrated Chromium engine for modern sites, and it uses the Trident MSHTML engine from Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) for legacy sites.
