Yeah, for what ever reason, the WB that VB uses is "locked" at IE6/7 compatibility, despite what ever version is actually installed on the computer. There is a registry setting you can update to enable the more modern functionality. If you search the forums for WebBrowser Registry Compatibility Setting you should find a few threads, the answer should be in one of them somewhere.

See the IE topic Internet Feature Controls (B..C):

Browser Emulation

Windows Internet Explorer 8 and later. The FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION feature defines the default emulation mode for Internet Explorer and supports the following values...

Since this is in the HKCU registry hive a program can choose the setting it needs without requiring elevation.

The registry setting contains the EXE name, so you'd probably want to detect IDE runs to either use VB6.EXE or your program's EXE name. For IDE runs should also remove the setting at the end of each run, or else have a cleanup operation you could invoke to remove it.

This is pretty old news.
