ie = edge

Question

ie = edge

How important is

'meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge">'

It sticks out like a sore thumb in the recommended minimum section as is totally browser specific. That is bad in my mind. If there is an issue it should be resolved by the vendor and be temporary.

The tag is used in both H5BP & Bootstrap; both projects I respect and look to for guidance when making decisions for HEAD. The tag isn't necessary unless you need to support < IE 11, but I don't plan dropping it until at least one of those two projects do. Thanks for the feedback @SteveALee!

@joshbuchea As far as I can tell, Bootstrap dropped the tag (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4-dev/_includes/header.html). If if both projects still have it, I don’t see a reason for maintaining it in the bare minimum example.
