 Because Microsoft Edge has incorporated a few different browser engines,
 the user agent reports itself as "Mozilla", "Chrome", "Safari", "Gecko",
 and finally "Edge".

 User agent:
 {{{
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
 Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.135 Safari/537.36 Edge/12.<OS build number>
 }}}

 Attached is a fix so that Microsoft Edge will only trip the $is_IE
 conditional. Tested on CrossBrowserTesting.com.
