After 27 years, Microsoft's #InternetExplorer is being phased out.
After 27 years, Microsoft's oldest browser, Internet Explorer, is being phased out. After being released in 1995, the browser is set to be retired today.
"We are announcing that the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 lies in Microsoft Edge," Microsoft said in a statement provided by the firm. Microsoft Edge is not only quicker, more secure, and more modern than Internet Explorer, but it also addresses a major concern: compatibility with older, legacy websites and applications. Internet Explorer mode ("IE mode") is incorporated into Microsoft Edge, allowing you to view legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and applications directly from Microsoft Edge."
Internet Explorer will be replaced by Microsoft Edge, and certain versions of Windows 10 will lose support for the dying browser. With its Edge browser, Microsoft invited users to "start enjoying a quicker, more secure, and more contemporary browsing experience."
Following the announcement, the Twitter family went viral with their memes, which were both amusing and tragic in nature.
Today, Internet Explorer will be retired. Although I haven't used Internet Explorer in decades, it was the browser I used for the majority of my childhood. It'll be the end of an era, whether you loved or disliked Internet Explorer.
