Under Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10 includes a built-in copy of Adobe Flash Player. Microsoft worked with Adobe to develop a special build of Flash that would ensure improved battery life and performance. In the "Metro" version of Internet Explorer, Flash has further disabled features to meet those goals and to remain compatible with Metro's enhanced security. Certain mouse-centric features that do not work well with touch displays have also been removed. | Under Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10 includes a built-in copy of Adobe Flash Player.

Microsoft and Adobe maintained a whitelist of approved domains that contained video content and games, unlike the desktop version.

Microsoft and Adobe maintained a whitelist of approved domains that contained video content and games, unlike the desktop version. On March 12, 2013 Microsoft changed this behavior from allowing only sites from the whitelist to display flash content, to allow all sites to display Flash content except for those on a curated Compatibility View list (blacklist) maintained by Microsoft. | ||

Internet Explorer 10 introduced a new feature called ''Flip Ahead'', available under Desktop and Metro builds. Flip Ahead adds a touch gesture that can be used to flip back and forth on sites that use multiple pages, replacing the need to tap on small page controls. This feature is turned off by default as browsing history is sent to Microsoft in order to provide it. Microsoft stated that some sites would need to be updated to ensure the gesture would work as intended. | Internet Explorer 10 introduced a new feature called ''Flip Ahead'', available under Desktop and Metro builds.
