Sadly, my company is still stuck on IE 9, though some ramblings have
been heard lately about IT upgrading to 11 across the board. Until then
we must support 9. Several of our internal apps are used by many of
those IE 9 users...
And oddly enough, our primary website still has about 10% of its traffic
registering from IE prior to Edge... so yeah.
Some idiot out there set up a bot with a false user agent and is killing
the internet!!
