HTML5Boiler plate suggests we put this one in our HTML page if we favour Chrome over IE
(which is my case)

<!-- Always force latest IE rendering engine (even in intranet) & Chrome Frame -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">

We all understand how it works.
If the user is using IE but it has also installed the Chrome Frame the chrome frame will be used to run the page (which is probably much faster when it comes to execute my js)

The question: is there any ‘bad’ side effect ?

any particular reason why I should not add that snippet ?

Thanks

    This does not have any downsides.

    This will force the browser to render as properly as it can, ignoring those awful IE Compatibility modes.

    This will not break the browser, just peacfully explain to it, that this page doesn’t wish to be experimented with, and just to be shown properly.
