The end date of Internet Explorer, which has a long history that comes to mind first when thinking of the Internet, is approaching on June 15th. Now that there are many alternative programs such as the Edge browser, Chrome, and Firefox, there are not as many people using it as before, but the end of a representative program that dominated an era feels a bit salty. 네이버 웨일 브라우저 업데이트
For those who used to use Internet Explorer, the time has come to choose an alternative program. I mainly use the Naver Whale browser, so I tend to recommend this one. 윤과장의 소소한 일상 이야기
From the standpoint of running a Naver Blog, the dependence on the Naver service is high, so various convenient features are quite good, and the overall completeness is quite good because it enables fast and pleasant web browsing based on Chromium 102.
Since it is compatible with Chrome, you can also install and use Chrome extensions.
It is very convenient because you can log in with your Naver account and use the same environment on all devices you are using by synchronizing your bookmarks, extension apps, settings, history, passwords, etc. with the server.
Since it supports all OSs such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone, it is convenient to use it without having to memorize passwords or bookmarks. In particular, the completion of the macOS version is high, so it is more convenient than Safari for me, who uses a Macbook and Windows desktop together.
Compatibility mode to close Internet Explorer
It is now available on the Naver Whale browser.
Another reason to recommend the Naver Whale browser is that it provides a compatibility mode that allows you to view sites designed exclusively for Internet Explorer.
These days, most large sites are made to be searchable in Chrome without problems, but among old sites, there are still places that are displayed normally only in Internet Explorer.
Naver Whale browser supports the proper viewing of relevant sites through Internet Explorer mode.
In Settings, you can choose to use the corresponding compatibility mode option / apply only to automatic switching sites.
If you right-click on an empty space on the webpage, you can see compatibility mode in the pop-up menu.
When you set it to “Apply only to automatic conversion sites”, if the site is not applicable, the function is disabled and clicks are not possible.
Conversely, when you set it to “Enable”, you can see that the option is always activated so that you can run Internet Explorer mode when you right-click on any site.
Of course, since most of the recently used web pages have high browser compatibility, it seems that there will be no problem if most of them are set to “Apply only to automatic conversion sites”.
If you haven’t used the Naver Whale browser yet, please give it a try.
