What is it about?
First, we’ll explore how to use Internet Explorer on Mac. Your first option would be to simulate Internet Explorer in Safari with the Develop menu tool. Although this can be great for testing apps or webpages, we wouldn’t recommend it for long-term use as it can be prone to bugs.
For those more tech-confident among you, you could even try launching Internet Explorer on a virtual machine. Beware, though, as every time you want to use Internet Explorer on your Mac, you’ll have to run it through a virtual machine.
And don’t forget: If the reason you want Internet Explorer is that you don’t like Mac’s native Safari, you can always try some feature-packed alternative web browsers, like Chrome, Firefox, and Brave.
And here’s your final tip: if you want to make full use of your Mac and explore its limitless possibilities, try top Mac-friendly apps on Setapp.
