How does the x-ua-compatible value in the http-equiv attribute affect browser compatibility?

The x-ua-compatible value in the http-equiv attribute affects how Internet Explorer renders a page.

It forces the browser to use the latest rendering engine available, ensuring that the page is displayed using the most up-to-date standards. This is particularly useful for maintaining compatibility with older versions of Internet Explorer.
