You can check for document.documentMode which IE browsers use to signal
in which compatibility they are operating. Pretty sure it isn't
supported by Edge.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/deprecated-document-modes

That will give you IE8-IE11. If you need to rule out earlier IE also,
check for document.documentElement.filters as well.

cheers,
