  • Excellent but needs grammar fix in message

    Hi there! Thanks for creating this great plugin. Just letting you know the grammar is abit dodgy in English. "Your Internet Browser is not recommended environment" should be "Your Internet Explorer is not recommended for this environment" or "for use in this environment" Can I change it or could there be an update? A cool feature would be the ability to add a custom message :-) Thanks again

  • Been looking for this!!

    Tried several other, old and outdated plugins for this specific feature. IE shouldn'just be discountinued, it should be forced closed once and for all. Thanks you for this great plugin.

  • Underrated

    This was a much-needed addition to the website given how little support there is for IE nowadays, and this is the only plugin that does it.
