Washington, USA: After 27 years of service from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (launched in 1995), Microsoft has enunciated the retirement news of its oldest web browser Internet explorer. IE was once known for its premium service and as a premium add-on package in windows-95 and it achieved 95% usage as its maximum retention of users in 2003. After the introduction of multiple web browsers, IE was unable to sustain its user base retention.
Microsoft is now all prepared to shutdown internet explorer tomorrow on 15-June-2022. Ergo, IE will be rendered inoperable from 15-June-2022. The company has said that the future of web browsing in Windows-10 is ‘Microsoft Edge’.
The company said in a recent statement, “Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications.”
The statement further read, “We can’t thank everyone enough for supporting Internet Explorer over the years. Many people and organizations around the world have depended on IE to support them as they’ve learned, grown and conducted business online.”
‘Microsoft Edge’ the Internet explorer’s successor comes with in-built IE mode that allows users to access the old IE-based websites and applications. IE received its last update and the final version in 2013.
The users of IE are feeling emotional and are showing their love and homage on Twitter towards Internet explorer.
IE was given the tag of being the slowest search engine on the internet whereas its rival took a major leap providing the best user experience, security and services and leading IE behind. IE has surely played a major role on the lives of those born in the 90s.
