Had to refresh my knowledge of that era.

But it was Netscape version 8 that let users use the Trident engine (internet explorer).

Under use cases.

to render web pages in IE mode

Sounds like a separate mode for compatibility reasons back when websites had that "Best viewed in Internet Explorer" badge

Plus, 8 wasn't the last release either

Sounds like a separate mode for compatibility

Yeah it was, I don't know if they kept the feature in v9. It stopped being relevant a long time before that either way.

I never made a claim to the accuracy.
