I like trying out new things..but at least in my case, one of my favorite pieces of software: https://lastpass.com/ doesn't work very well with IE 11 that's included with windows 10 tech. preview build # 9926, it seems to work normally though when I'm using firefox.

There are a number of websites that don't work or are not compatible with IE and they only work in FF and/or Chrome.

Quite often they work if you click on "Reload in compatibility mode" under the frown button up in the top right of IE.

Not every time. When I took a class on Corsera the coding tool would not work in IE but only in FF or Chrome.

I got tired of this crap back in the 90s with IE and Netscape, each school designing their websites so they wouldn't work with the other. Bunch of childish BS.

Now its back again.

I thought there was an html standard everyone was/is suppose to use including Microsoft. What happened?

Websites are more than just HTML.

OH and in the situation that I pointed out I have no reason why I(we) couldn't use IE for the class it's just that the changes needed to make the code testing and grading tools would have required a lot of tweaking to work in IE and the staff for the class didn't want to put in that much effort. It was easier to have the class use FF or Chrome.

I have both FF (ver. 36) and Chrome (ver. 40) installed and both work very well with LastPass. Chrome is my default browser. I use IE-11 infrequently but LastPass also works fine without any issues so far.

Since there is no enforcement, "standard" compliance is voluntary and as a result, companies just do whatever they like.
