Microsoft Kills Internet Explorer
This is the main body of Internet Explorer 11. It formerly controlled the world of online browsers. It is no longer alive.
Microsoft stated on Tuesday that it will permanently shut its out-of-support legacy browser in order to improve user experience and transition enterprises to its newer Edge browser. This applies to “certain versions of Windows 10,” according to Microsoft.
“With an increasing number of websites no longer supporting Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge provides a quicker, more secure, and more contemporary browsing experience that can still open outdated, Internet Explorer-dependent sites when necessary,” Microsoft stated in a statement.
According to Microsoft, devices that haven’t already been moved from IE11 to Microsoft Edge will do so as of Tuesday.
Internet Explorer formerly reigned supreme in the browser world. It dominated 95% of the browser market in 2003. However, Internet Explorer’s reign is over, and Microsoft has moved on to Edge. However, Microsoft’s push to integrate the newly AI-enhanced Bing search engine into Edge has piqued both parties’ interest.
When Microsoft announced that it was discontinuing Internet Explorer last summer, the public reaction was both passionate and amusing. In South Korea, the browser had its own memorial, and IE jokes abounded.
