The Web Explorer 15 serves as a major proof-of-concept test for emerging browser technologies and the transition to Windows 10.

Additionally, support for legacy plugins has been discontinued. Although planned as the first version for the Microsoft Store, it could not be released there at the time due to engine restrictions and store policies.
