Huge gap between items containing images in an unordered list in Internet Explorer
For my footer I have a horizontal unordered list containing images (social media icons). This works in all browsers (it also works in Edge), but it doesn't seem to work in IE11.
Working as intended in Chrome
Huge gap between the icons in IE11
I am not sure what is causing these spaces.

</footer>Solution
I'm not certain what the exact issue is, but adding a width and height attribute to the SVG improves it alot. The only slight difference is when it's scaled by height.
If you change:
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24">
to
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" height="24">
Adding the width and height attribute improves it. Although the cost is some slight spacing when it's scaled down.
Here's an example:
footer{
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 0;
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
