    I, too, need a new browser for my Win 8.1 RT. PLEASE give RT users a new browser.

    Yes... please please please. Give the Win 8.1 RT Community a current, decent browser.

    Otherwise, this peace of hardware is nothing more than a board for cutting butter or bread. Or unveal a solution for breaking out of the ms universe by opening the boot loader for eg. linux so the 500+ EUR are not simply thrown away.

    I never ever bought a piece of hardware I am so disappointed about. And whenever someone asks me whether he should buy hardware from microsoft... i would always ever say "no, please don't do it!". Hardware market is not in focus of microsoft, it is allways more a market analysis, looking after silly people and forget about them after several months.

    I am still a Surface RT tablet user. The platform for IE Browser is no longer supported. I have tried to download private Browser Sidekick and there was a problem during download on Microsoft end of the download site. I know the device needs update. In order to continue using this device I need a supported acceptable browser.

    Does anyone knows a supported browser for this device?

    thanks for your support.

    Sidekick Browser won't help as I'm assuming it uses the IE engine to do it's rendering. Currently there's no alternative and given MS no longer support the device I doubt we'll see Edge for Surface RT at all.

    I wish they JUST let us to install ChromeOS or any lightweight Linux flavor  on it.  UEFI is locked. You can't do anything
