Get Outta Here IE (redirect people using Internet Explorer)

010101

Copy and paste the following into your admin custom header or footer box. If someone visits using any IE version, they are redirected to Microsoft's official page telling the user that IE is almost completely non-supported. So use a real browser already! 😉 Or, replace the redirect URL to a custom page.

<script>if (/*@cc_on!@*/false || (!!window.MSInputMethodContext && !!document.documentMode)){window.location.href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/windows/end-of-ie-support";}</script>

What the heck is this checking??

The @cc_on!@ part:

The other part is for IE11 because the first part doesn't work with IE11.

If you change the redirect URL to https://zerosonesfun.github.io/IENOMORE/ this is what the user will be redirected to:

You can also email MS to have them add the site as incompatible to their IE compatibility list.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/ie-to-microsoft-edge-redirection#request-an-update-to-the-ie-compatibility-list
Then the page will automatically open in Microsoft Edge when you try to enter using Internet Explorer.

Try accessing Netlfix via Internet Explorer to see how it works.
Here is the current list of sites incompatible with IE: https://edge.microsoft.com/neededge/v1

rafaucau Hopefully, eventually, Microsoft will just automatically redirect all traffic... just completely shut IE down. 🙂

010101 Actually it's done I just opened IE and it opened Edge I tried too much times to try something, but it didn't worked then I opened Private Window task and it worked then I entered too many url's including discuss.flarum.org it opens in edge and Show that this browser is no longer compatible.

1Dot Hmm. I wonder what exactly is making that happen. The other day at work I was able to use IE and so I do not think it is already automatically like this for all websites.

If a core developer sees this can you confirm if Flarum already blocks IE by default?

It could be that discuss.flarum.org is in the official IE not compatible list.

The above solution is a temporary “just in case” solution to 100% ensure IE is redirected.
