Microsoft's Internet Explorer will finally be retired next year after more than 26 years of service, the tech giant says.

The veteran web browser was released with Windows 95.

It will no longer appear on consumer versions of Windows 10 after June 2022, Microsoft wrote in a blog.

The tech giant has been phasing out the old browser for several years - but in 2019 it had to issue an emergency patch for it, for security reasons.

At that point it was estimated that around 8% of people were still using it.

Its replacement, Microsoft Edge, has an Internet Explorer compatibility mode, which will continue to function.

A real sack of shit. Microsoft can never follow standards, tufia very stupid company. They should even take edge down too, that thing sucks data like die. They should stick to their operating system abeg which is even another sack of slow, incompatible shit. Blue screens every goddamn week, those days.

As a frontend guy, that browser showed me craze.

I love what they did with edge browser.

Yes. Explorer is the bastard of all web browsers, with its compatibility issues, it has been a nightmare for most web developers.

It was slow, ugly and useless, just like the majority of the trash Microsoft makes.

Do People still use it??

What is Microsoft Explorer? Google Chrome had retired it along time go.
The only good thing that Microsoft did was translating MS DOS to a much more user friendly Windows OS which pave way for Java, Symbian and Android. Every other things they developed has been trash. In fact, I look forward to a more flexible operating system than Windows in the next couple of years. Apple is not a good replacement for Windows anyway, that one even made user interaction harder.

No

I hardly use it.

I may
Most people don't realize that Internet explorer can read your pdf or ebook to you while you do other things.
