In this post we will tell you how to uninstall IE10 in Windows 8. Here are the following details.
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has always be given less attention ever since Google Chrome, Mozilla and other Internet Explorer have launched in the market. Nonetheless, it is considered to be one of the best Explorers. But Chrome can be seen as one competitor which outstrips what Internet Explorer has to offer. Statistics leaves no doubt for same.
If we talk about Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft has not only pushed its support limit, also it has been designed to lead a double role. It can be run in Desktop view like a traditional IE we have seen down the line, as well as directly from Start screen in the Metro view.
In the back end, however, both runs on the same fast and improved rendering engine which provide support for the new technologies like CSS3 and HTML5. Metro Appearance of IE includes the Adobe-flash plug-in as google chrome does. Yet, google chrome takes away the winning tag, whereas IE can be considered as second runner up after Mozilla.
