French translation:"sous-version d'Internet Explorer"
Explanation:
J'utilise "version bâtarde" en discussion, mais le registre de langage n'est peut-être pas acceptable. "Sous-version" conserve le côté péjoratif.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_Explorer
"AOL Explorer, previously known as AOL Browser, is a graphical web browser based on the Microsoft Trident layout engine and was released by AOL."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(layout_engine)
"Trident (also known as MSHTML) is the name of the layout engine for the Microsoft Windows version of Internet Explorer."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSN_Explorer
"MSN Explorer is essentially a graphics-heavy version of Internet Explorer, and could be termed an Internet Explorer shell: this means it is a Trident based browser."
