Add-ons
Internet Explorer 11 is designed to provide an add-on free experience, playing HTML5 and many Adobe Flash
Player videos without installing a separate add-on. Add-ons and toolbars will only work in Internet Explorer for
the desktop. To view a page that requires add-ons in Internet Explorer, swipe down or right-click to bring up the
Address bar, tap or click the Page tools button, and then tap or click View on the desktop.
You can view, enable, and disable the list of add-ons that can be used by Internet Explorer for the desktop. For
more info, see Manage add-ons in Internet Explorer on Windows.com.

Internet Explorer for the desktop.
