What is this IE Pop up whenever I run on a new machine?
When I run Linqpad on a new machine I get this messsge from Internet Explorer asking ot add amout:security_LINQPAD8.exe to the Trusted sites.
Why? What is this for? Can we please never speak of IE again?

Check to make sure you're not using the old results engine?
Huh that looks plausible. But I would never choose that setting and these are all fresh installs. And when I look at them none of them have that set. So perhaps something thinks that setting is set?
This happens when (a) you're on an old version of Windows Server with IE enhanced security mode enabled, and (b) WebView2 is not installed, and (c) you're running a very old (pre-Chromium) version of Edge. There is simply no usable browser available for LINQPad.
You can work around this by changing any one of those things. Installing the latest version of Edge is usually the easiest. Support for the pre-Chromium Edge ended in March 2021, so this is a good move anyway.
