In this week’s roundup: Internet Explorer finds its way into Edge, Google Search Console touts a new speed report, and Firefox gives Facebook’s notification the silent treatment.<\/p>\n

Let’s get into the news!<\/p>\n

Edge browser with new Internet Explorer mode launches in January<\/h3>\n

Microsoft expects to release the new Chromium-based Edge browser on January 15, on both Windows and macOS. This browser includes a new Internet Explorer mode that allows Edge to automatically and seamlessly render tabs containing specific legacy content (e.g., a company\u2019s intranet) using Internet Explorer\u2019s engine instead of Edge\u2019s standard engine (Blink).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a sped-up excerpt from Fred Pullen\u2019s presentation<\/a> that shows the new Internet Explorer mode in action:

Speed report experimentally available in Google Search Console<\/h3>\n

The new Speed report in Google\u2019s Search Console<\/a> shows how your website performs for real-world Chrome users (both on mobile and desktop). Pages that “pass a certain threshold of visits”<\/a> are categorized into fast, moderate, and slow pages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Tip:<\/strong> After fixing a speed issue, use the \u201cValidate fix\u201d button to notify Google Search. Google will verify the fix and re-index the pages if the issue is resolved.<\/p>\n

(via Google Webmasters<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n

Facebook\u2019s notification prompt will disappear in Firefox<\/h3>\n

Firefox will soon start blocking notification prompts on websites that request the notification permission immediately on page load (Facebook does this). Instead of the prompt, a small \u201cspeech balloon\u201d icon will be shown in the URL bar.<\/p>\n

Websites will still be able to show a notification prompt in Firefox as long as they request permission in response to a user interaction (a click, tap, or key press).<\/p>
