Does IE11 even support ActiveX? I didn't think that it did.

I tend to use IE11 because it is lighter on memory usage than Firefox or IE and my machine has only 4GB of RAM. Also, it has a lot of those features. By default, I have right click and search with Bing and there are many accelerators that do the same thing. Plus, I don't see how so-called limitations in the shell should lead to an underlying engine change. I think Trident works well, although the main frustrating thing is that it doesn't work with a lot of IE only sites ironically (my company's old version of Outlook webmail, my credit union, etc.).
