Internet Explorer to be discontinued

[alsemanche 97,796]

 

Microsoft is finally retiring Internet Explorer next year, after more than 25 years. The aging web browser has largely been unused by most consumers for years, but Microsoft is putting the final nail in the Internet Explorer coffin on June 15th, 2022, by retiring it in favor of Microsoft Edge.

“We are announcing that the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge,” says Sean Lyndersay, a Microsoft Edge program manager. “The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10.”

While the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) of Windows 10 will still include Internet Explorer next year, all consumer versions will end support of the browser. Microsoft doesn’t make it clear (and we’re checking), but it’s likely that we’ll finally see the end of Internet Explorer being bundled in Windows either in June 2022 or soon after.

Inb4 it will be discontinued as some will still be waiting for their pages to load. Iconic I think.

Because it loads for years. Chrome has 10 pages open at once while Explorer still opens page 1.

I am glad it's over now. The struggle has been too long.

Finally  I hope it was sooner tho, IE has been a nightmare for me for years because one of our biggest clients refuse to let go of it and still test everything using IE.

I'm sole front end developer at my job and I made the site inaccessible for internet explorer users with a message telling them to download a modern browser lmao. Thankfully not many boomers do business with us anyway since we don't do reverse mortgages so I was given the goahead to do that from higher ups.

good. now, let's work on making that atrocity Edge able to be uninstalled. the fact I can't delete it and it keeps opening my PDF files in it, while I specifically have a software for that is the worst!!
