Description: - follow-up to my previous PR #6060 (chore: MarkDown Note marker compatibility spacing) Main directory: /browsers/ This is a follow-up attempt to standardize the MarkDown Note bubbles by adding the recommended single space after the quote marker. MarkDown codestyle & whitespace usage consistency is the main goal here. Additional proposed changes: - Remove redundant end-of-line (EOL) whitespace - Simplify blank space usage in bullet point lists/numbered lists to 1 - Replace some tab characters with 4 blank spaces (GitHub compatibility) - Reduce redundant blank line whitespace usage: - remove excessive blank lines between sections - remove surplus blank lines in minimal bullet point lists File-specific improvement change: browsers/edge/microsoft-edge-kiosk-mode-deploy.md - Add back missing table readability spacing and cell dividers. Ticket reference or closure: None that I know of (at least not yet). Additional notes: - I have split this modification chore into sub-folder sections to keep the number of files within a reasonably manageable amount. - Some of the whitespace changes could not be applied due to layout.

## Interoperability goals and enterprise guidance
|
|
|
|
Our primary goal is that your websites work in Microsoft Edge. To that end, we've made Microsoft Edge the default browser.
|
|
|
|
You must continue using IE11 if web apps use any of the following:
|
|
|
|
* ActiveX controls
|
|
|
|
* x-ua-compatible headers
|
|
|
|
* <meta> tags with an http-equivalent value of X-UA-Compatible header
|
|
|
|
* Enterprise mode or compatibility view to addressing compatibility issues
|
|
|
|
* legacy document modes
|
|
|
|
If you have uninstalled IE11, you can download it from the Microsoft Store or the [Internet Explorer 11 download page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=290956). Alternatively, you can use Enterprise Mode with Microsoft Edge to transition only the sites that need these technologies to load in IE11.
|

|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> If you want to use Group Policy to set Internet Explorer as your default browser, you can find the info here, [Set the default browser using Group Policy](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=620714).

|Technology |Why it existed |Why we don't need it anymore |
|

|---------|---------|---------|
|
|
|ActiveX |ActiveX is a binary extension model introduced in 1996 which allowed developers to embed native Windows technologies (COM/OLE) in web pages. These controls can be downloaded and installed from a site and were subsequently loaded in-process and rendered in Internet Explorer. | |
|
|
|Browser Helper Objects (BHO) |BHOs are a binary extension model introduced in 1997 which enabled developers to write COM objects that were loaded in-process with the browser and could perform actions on available windows and modules. A common use was to build toolbars that installed into Internet Explorer. | |
|
|
|Document modes | Starting with IE8, Internet Explorer introduced a new “document mode” with every release. These document modes could be requested via the x-ua-compatible header to put the browser into a mode which emulates legacy versions. |Similar to other modern browsers, Microsoft Edge has a single “living” document mode. To minimize the compatibility burden, we test features behind switches in about:flags until stable and ready to be turned on by default. |
