That's very unlikely considering that Microsoft shoves Edge in your face every time you try to open anything.

No support. The only reason IE is even installed on Windows is for backwards compatibility (.net apps or something like that) and is being discontinued next year. If this even gets implemented, it will after IE goes obsolete next year. Plus, who even uses IE anymore? At least use Edge.

Yes, but this is Scratch, not Roblox. It doesn't matter if you can play Roblox on IE. What we care about is practicality.
  • Is it helpful to add IE?
    No, it is obsolete.
  • Is it safe?
    No, there will not be any more security updates.
  • Do we need IE?
    No, there's Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.

It's not modern. If you want modern, use Edge. There are also many risks of getting malware.

No, it's not, I downloaded it off chrome and it's your fault if you downloaded it off IE. Anyways, this is scratch, and IE is annoying to use anyhow

After reading this comment chain I have found
  • Internet Explorer is being dicontinued
Why make Scratch usable on something that will never be used in a few months (It may as well take a few months to do that anyway)
  • Who still uses Internet Explorer
Hardly anyone, it isn't really helpful to put the site on a browser next to no one can use, the only time I use Internet Explorer is when a game on a site isn't working because only a few browsers were supported for a mini game, apparently the only one I had was IE
  • IE poses a Security risk
It won't have anymore updates to increase Security, so that alone is a reason Scratch shouldn't be on it

All this and more has been stated in the chain you don't have any common reason why you can't use anything but IE

You said it yourself, people from the 90's used it, that's 30 years ago you and I have very different ideas of what modern means

(old quote thing glitched out) I don't think something people used in the ‘90’s is “modern”.

Then don't delete Microsoft edge and I doubt your antivirus would block microsoft.com…

Unfortunately, Internet Explorer is not a browser that we are able to support for both technical and security reasons. If you don't want to use a modern browser, I would suggest downloading the offline editor.
