How to get INTERNET EXPLORER back in Windows 11/10 – (2024)
According to a new article by Paul Thurrott on WinSuperSite, the folks in Redmond may be planning to include SPDY support in their next web browser. The new protocol isn't implemented in Internet Explorer 11 yet, but a set of registry keys confirming this have already been dug up from the version of Windows Blue leaked by Rafael Rivera.
For those who don't know, SPDY (pronounced "speedy") is a web protocol developed by Google that has yet to be certified as a web standard. However, it is already part of Google Chrome and will soon be part of IE11. Its main purpose is to improve the loading performance of websites.
Google developed SPDY to minimize latency and reduce page load time by up to 64%. I don't want to get too technical here, but Google's protocol works seamlessly across current network infrastructures because it uses TCP as the transport layer, which is also different and an advantage compared to other technologies trying to achieve the same goal – for more information, see this SPDY whitepaper.
