I am pretty new to Mac so be easy.
The website used by the company I work for only runs smoothly with IE. If I don't use IE the pages are jumbled, but if I change the user agent on Safari to IE it works correctly. How can I set it up so that the default user agent when Safari opens a new window or tab will IE. It is annoying to have to constantly change the user agent every time I open a new window or tab when doing work from home.
Thank you

I haven't seen any preference option that will enable IE as default when you open a new window.
Download Safari Technology Preview(STP) and try as a test.
Safari Technology Preview is a self standing developer version of Safari with some advanced features.
Bookmarks will be automatically imported.
After testing, you can remove it from Applications folder if you wish.

Change the User Agent.
STP will be running concurrently.
Switch to STP when you need it.
Using IE user agent may be easier even with the annoyance.
Have you thought of installing Windows on your Mac?
Then you have to switch between Macintosh HD /macOS and Windows/ Boot Camp partition.
Using the IE user agent is the better option. But why can't I just make it the default user agent?
I want to keep Windows as far away from me as possible. Not to mention I really don't want to spend the money on buying windows just to get rid of this annoyance.
I'll see if that has different settings I can mess around with. Thank you! That solves some of the annoyance if it was just opened as an IE until a new tab gets opened when I click on something still have to change the user agent again for that specific tab. Unless of course STP has some different/additional settings.
Right. Just when I'm in STP and click a link that opens a new tab that tab will as well need to be IE so I will have to go to Develop>User Agent> IE again for that tab. I'm trying to eliminate the need to do that when clicking a link opens a new tab.

Don't close the window or quit STP.
Leave it open, when you need it switch to STP.
Once you close the window or quit STP, it will change to "Default Automatically Chosen".
