Add
/browserconfig.xml
and tile images
By default, starting with IE11 on Windows 8.1, IE will request the `/browserconfig.xml` file when a user clicks/touches the `pin site` button (same as Safari for iOS does with the `apple-touch-icons` when the user touches the `share` button). Adding the `/browserconfig.xml` file and the tile images: * reduces the number of 404s, especially as IE11 on Windows 8.1 gets more market share * provides a starting point for dealing with Windows tiles * reminds users about the tile images, so that their website doesn't end up having as a tile the default IE11 logo, or (if the favicon is 32×32px or bigger and not `.ico`) the website's favicon * unlike using `<meta>` tags, offers a way that doesn't increase the page size Only two images are provided since: * `tile.png` (558×558px) - can be used for the `Small`, `Medium`, and `Large` tiles, being automatically resized where necessary * `tile-wide.png` (558×270px) - can be used for the `Wide` tile as, in this case, resizing the 558×558px image would just end up looking weird The two images are 558×558px and 558×270px because those are the recommended image sizes in order for the tiles to look good on a wide range of devices.
