I haven't used Internet Explorer in a long time and noticed some buzz regarding Internet Explorer 10. I've tried downloading it, but it seems I will need to install Windows 8, which I won't bother with on my limited bandwidth.
Has anyone tried Internet Explorer 10 and can tell me if it supports WebGL or not?
No, Internet Explorer 10 doesn't support WebGL.
From Wikipedia:
Microsoft has not announced any plans to officially support WebGL.
In June 2011, Microsoft announced that they could not endorse WebGL in its current form from a security perspective. Analysis performed by its MSRC Engineering team concluded that WebGL support in Microsoft products would have difficulty in meeting the requirements of the Security Development Lifecycle, the software security standards internally enforced in Microsoft. Specifically, Microsoft cited overly permissive exposure of hardware functionality, heavy reliance on third parties to secure web experience, and unproven denial-of-service protection capabilities as their key concerns.
IEWebGL can be installed as a plugin.
IE 10 does not support WebGL. Microsoft's released a statement regarding their security concerns with WebGL:
We believe that WebGL will likely become an ongoing source of hard-to-fix vulnerabilities. In its current form, WebGL is not a technology Microsoft can endorse from a security perspective.
We recognize the need to provide solutions in this space however it is our goal that all such solutions are secure by design, secure by default, and secure in deployment.
WebGL is supported in IE 11.
