Internet Explorer 11: “Don’t call me IE” | NCZOnline - IE 11 doesn't want to be known as IE.
Win 7 IE v11.0.9600.16659 /w 11.0.5 update, sometimes IE won't open new tabs without showing developer tools. Very frustrating, I assume an addon or something strange, but really!
Internet explorer(IE) is a fine browser. It is not my first choice, I am more of a firefox fan myself. However, I always use IE when firefox is acting up...and I also end up using something like IEtab for when a site requires IE. (perhaps for activex support)
First I'd like to say, CodeProject: Shell and IE programming. - really, lots of great articles in the IE programming section of codeproject...

Resolve JSON is Undefined Error in Internet Explorer
Blake's Application Development Blog : Internet Explorer Error: SCRIPT5009: ‘JSON’ is undefined
Which means that developers need to support the modern browsers, and then use something like yepnope.js | A Conditional Loader For Your Polyfills! to test for window.JSON, or send douglascrockford/json2.js blindly since its small and detects if JSON is already defined. Oh, the price of backwards compatibility!
//yepnope.js is only 1.7kb
//Modernizr now includes yepnope.js and you can use their feature-detect for json if you've got it.
//https://raw.github.com/SlexAxton/yepnope.js/master/yepnope.js
// I am not suggesting you use unminified js, just pointing to the latest resources for your viewing pleasure.
yepnope({
test: window.JSON,
nope: 'https://raw.github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/master/json2.js',
complete: function () {
var data = window.JSON.parse('{ "json" : "string" }');
}
});
