Should we force IE compatibility mode off?
See original GitHub issueWhen testing some IE8 issues I accidentally turned on IE7 standards mode, I think when the page errors it’ll prompt you to turn it on.
I’m wondering if we should include meta tags, that you often see people using?

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

An old Microsoft blog post suggests that the meta tag does at least get rid of the compatibility mode button, so that sounds good.
@paulwaitehomeoffice GOV.UK Frontend still supports IE8 as there are some services that still support IE8 for example in prisons (https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/1026)
