Microsoft Edge is the successor to the infamous Internet Explorer. It was first released in 2015, with a strong orientation towards web standards. When it first came out it almost parred it's competitors, but since then, possibly due to a very slow adoption, development has slowed down.

Internet Explorer is the default browser for the Windows OS, first released in 1995 to compete with Netscape. During 2002 and 2003 it had a market share of about 95% but the market share declined with the release of Firefox and later Chrome.

The desktop segment

- parentnode.dk
The desktop segment contains modern desktop browsers like Chrome 49+ , Firefox 49+ , Safari 10+ and Edge 13+. The purpose is to be able to target all modern browsers in one segment, to enable using the newest technology, without the need for extensive hacks or polyfills, which impairs performance.

The desktop_ie11 segment

The desktop_ie11 segment is a compromise to meet IE halfway. As IE11 is still more used than it's replacement, Edge, it could be a candidate for the desktop segment, but it is just not good enough. In some cases the lack of features are not important - in other cases they are vital. Giving it its own segment is the most flexible approach as developers can then individually decide how to group it with other segments. (3%, 2017)

The desktop_ie10 segment is compromise to meet IE halfway. It hardly makes any sense anymore, but we'll keep it for another round. Giving it its own segment is the most flexible approach as developers can then individually decide how to group it with other segments. (0%, 2017)
