    IE on XB1


    I don't mind if IE on Xbox 1 doesn't use FLASH. Flash player does have security loop holes and Microsoft is cautious. It is rare for anyone to report their genuine Xbox has a virus (Xbox 360/Xbox 1). It does have HTTML5 or something. I'm sure Microsoft wants
    to keep Xbox Live very secure safe and fun.

    I think IE is very good on the Xbox One. I really like how it looks exactly the same as IE from the start in screen on Windows 8. I don't use it an awful lot though as I already have my PC hooked up to the same TV as my Xbox.

    It does come in very handy if you get stuck on a single player game though. Jumping in and out of IE and a game works seamlessly on the Xbox One. And no, I have not had any issues with it either.

    I use a PC mostly (Firefox, Chrome & IE for dev stuff) although when on the couch I'll use IE for gaming related videos, news etc...

    I'm not going to lie, IE on Xbox is poor, on full screen it works fine and is fit for purpose but the moment you snap all hell breaks loose. It's a bit to do with poorly optimised websites, and a lot to do with the horrible zooming function.

    For some reason it'll chop parts out of the width (so you miss text) or sometimes it'll break over to the side (so you can't scroll the full width) so you have to zoom out to see the content - which now is too small to read on my 40" 1/5 of screen.

    Man I could go on and on, but for me snapped IE is the worst thing since IE6. I do love the quick swapping between 3 apps and the game, very cool at a loading screen swapping to full screen IE to do something else.

    IE on XB1

    Ok this is just a refresh. I still get the auto close/home screen glitch. So I called MS support and we tried a few of the common trouble shooting techniques. To no avail.

    That's ok though because the support guy gave me 2 months of XB Gold for my troubles.

    I used to have that problem too, viking. As for why it stopped, unfortunately, I could not tell you... IE on XB1 :(

    Did you try uninstalling and then reinstalling it?

    I like IE I use it. I do get some bug. But the strange think is I never had a problem on my PC with it. So I think they didn't code it right for the Xbox.
