I’ve just had a fiddle with an IE11 browser I’ve got laying around, and if you hit F12, click on the “Console” tab, you get what you need. If I type:

```
window.ie

```

it prints

```
undefined

```

If I then type

```
window.history

```

it prints

```
[object History] (other gibberish)

```

If I then type

```
window.history.pushState

```

it prints

```
function pushState() { [native code] }

```

If I type

```
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Android")

```

it prints

```
-1

```

If you get results different to these, please post a full screenshot of the results you do get. If you get the same results, but IE11 is still causing you problems, then please provide a publicly-accessible URL (the site you linked to earlier is buried behind mandatory SSO) that exhibits the problem.
