GitHub no longer supports Internet Explorer

This morning I’ve had access to a GitHub project using Internet Explorer and appeared a notification bar on the top of the page to inform that “GitHub no longer supports Internet Explorer” and suggesting to use Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Firefox.

You can find the list of supported browser in the following link:
https://help.github.com/en/articles/supported-browsers

Reading the supported browsers page we can find that support is offered also to Safari and that it could be limited only to the latest version of Firefox.

This time I’ve decided write first the solution and offer to the reader the option to read the full post or not.

Introduction:
Just recently I bought a Chinese Tablet with Android to my son Thomas and surprisingly I’ve faced this issue.
Well, how complicated could be connect a device to an Hotspot (Free Wifi) network for a person that has a degree in IT?
I tell you my list of attempts in order as I thought:

  1. Restart the device (favorite Microsoft solution)
  2. Open the default router page using the following IPs/URLs
    192.168.0.1 
    192.168.1.1 
    127.0.0.1 
    127.1.1.1 
    1.1.1.1
    http://localhost
  3. Assigned Google DNS
    8.8.8.8 
    8.8.4.4
  4. Open an HTTP website in Incognito
    http://example.com

After all those attempts failed I started thinking that probably the device was broken/not working properly but it was connected when we were at home…

Idea:
I should force the browser to do a refresh, I remembered that often appeared a page, I remembered that there was a combination of the two words Microsoft and Connect. Just I googled it and found the url
