 In IE11 there is still the same skip to content bug.

 1. Start tabbing. Skip to content link gets visible.
 1. Hit Enter or Space and I'm moved to `#content`.
 1. Hit Tab again and focus goes back to Skip to content link.

 My best quess is that `navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf( 'msie'
 )` is not working for IE11 so there will be no `tabindex=-1` on
 `#content`.

 I'm not sure why we even try to check different browsers. Why not just
 always use `tabindex=-1` on `#content` when clickin skip to content?
