Comment:
This patch removes **legacy Internet Explorer (IE) specific code** and
cleans up outdated scripts in WordPress, ensuring compatibility with
modern browsers.
**Changes Made:**
- Removed IE-specific hacks in JavaScript and CSS files (e.g.,
**imgareaselect, farbtastic, thickbox, tinymce, heartbeat.js, emoji.js,
dashboard.js**).
- Cleaned up IE-specific polyfills and workarounds in theme files
(**twenty-nineteen, twenty-twenty-one**).
- Refactored code in **functions.php and polyfills.js** to remove
unnecessary IE support.
