Flip ahead through sites
Turning on flip ahead makes going from page to page and article to article more fluid. If you're reading an article
on a news site that supports flip ahead, you can swipe across the page (or click the Forward button ) to go to
the next page of content.
To turn on flip ahead, open the Settings charm from Internet Explorer, then tap or click Internet Options.
Internet Explorer for the desktop
You can also surf the web from the desktop using Internet Explorer for the desktop. To start the Internet Explorer
desktop app:

Add-ons, Flash and other multimedia content
Internet Explorer can play Adobe Flash Player and HTML5 content with audio, video, and other rich content
embedded.
Browser add-ons are not supported by Internet Explorer on Surface RT.
Adobe Flash
The majority of websites with Flash content are compatible with Surface RT. A small number of websites that are
not compatible with the Windows experience for touch, performance, and battery life are blocked.
HTML5 compatibility
HTML 5 functionality is built into Internet Explorer. With HTML5 it’s possible to embed audio and video,
animation, charts, and many other types of rich content without using plug-ins and third party programs. This
gives you a faster, cleaner experience.
