In v10, framework support for IE 9, 10, and IE mobile was deprecated. In v11 we remove support for these browsers. This commit updates angular.io docs to exclude references to IE 9, 10, and IE mobile as well as polyfills that were needed to run Angular-based apps in these browsers.
This commit removes IE 9 and IE 10 from the browser configuration that is used by CI, so tests would no longer be executed in these browsers.
This commit removes polyfills that were needed to run tests on IE 9 and IE 10. BREAKING CHANGE: In v10, IE 9, 10, and IE mobile support was deprecated. In v11, Angular framework removes IE 9, 10, and IE mobile support completely. Supporting outdated browsers like these increases bundle size, code complexity, and test load, and also requires time and effort that could be spent on improvements to the framework. For example, fixing issues can be more difficult, as a straightforward fix for modern browsers could break old ones that have quirks due to not receiving updates from vendors.
