Is that an good first task task for a contributor? If so, how to find such code?
Grep'ing for "IE" and "Internet Explorer"? Something else? Feel free to add good first task when there's clear instructions.

I expect most of the effort is actually finding such code rather than fixing it. Grepping is a start but might not find everything. This is especially the case when there is a better way to do things but we used a different way because we wanted to support IE.
Looking at your grep there probably isn't that many or any obvious things to remove.
