-## Supporting Internet Explorer 8-9
-
-As of v4, Bootstrap no longer supports IE8 or IE9. **If you require IE8-9 support, we recommend you use Bootstrap 3.** It's still supported by our team for bugfixes and documentation changes, but no new features will be added to it.
-
-Alternatively, you may add some third party JavaScript to backfill support for IE8-9 to Bootstrap 4. You'll need the following:
-
-* [The HTML5 shiv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_Shiv)
-* [Respond.js](https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond)
-* [Rem unit polyfill](https://github.com/chuckcarpenter/REM-unit-polyfill)
-
-No support will be provided for this, though you may find some help from the community in [our Slack channel]({{ site.slack }}).
-
-## IE Compatibility modes
-
-Bootstrap is not supported in the old Internet Explorer compatibility modes. To be sure you're using the latest rendering mode for IE, consider including the appropriate `` tag in your pages:
-
-{% highlight html %}
-
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Confirm the document mode by opening the debugging tools: press F12 and check the "Document Mode".
-
-This tag is included in all of Bootstrap's documentation and examples to ensure the best rendering possible in each supported version of Internet Explorer.
-
-See [this StackOverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6771258/what-does-meta-http-equiv-x-ua-compatible-content-ie-edge-do) for more information.
+**If you require IE8-9 support, use Bootstrap 3.** It's the most stable version of our code and is still supported by our team for critical bugfixes and documentation changes. However, no new features will be added to it.
