Internet Explorer 11 Has Retired And Is Officially Out Of Support.

Did you hear that? Microsoft is finally discontinuing Internet Explorer, its first web browser. The desktop version of Internet Explorer was "retired" on June 15, 2022, after more than 25 years, and the company will also stop providing support for it.?

Microsoft Edge has built-in legacy support for Internet Explorer-based websites, so the company is urging users to switch to it instead.

I used Internet Explorer for the first time in version 3. When Dynamic HTML and AJAX were added in IE4 and IE6, respectively, I had an entirely new perspective on what was possible online. Internet Explorer has earned its current reputation as a quirky, old-fashioned product that lacks the security of a modern browser. However, its contributions to the development of the web have been truly remarkable, from touch/pen browsing innovations to DHTML and AJAX's role in making the web genuinely interactive.

Even though Internet Explorer's official end of support occurred last year, users could still use it with some restrictions. The web app for Microsoft Teams had stopped functioning on Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) as of November 30, according to a previous announcement from Microsoft. Additionally, starting on August 17, 2021, Microsoft 365 services like Outlook and OneDrive will no longer connect to IE11.

The fact that Internet Explorer is slowly being phased out has served as a constant reminder of its importance; frequently, we work with clients whose businesses were built using Internet Explorer. In many ways, Internet explorer story is the tale of the internet and what it has made possible for people and organizations worldwide to do. To chip away at something with such a broad impact has only been lowering.

What happens now for regular Internet Explorer users?

Microsoft has reached the next phase of that journey and announced that Microsoft Edge would replace Internet Explorer as the default browser on Windows 10.

The best program for Windows, Microsoft Edge, is a quicker, safer, and more modern program designed for the modern web. Whatever the case, we shouldn't forget that some web components rely on Internet Explorer's unique features and behaviors, which is why Microsoft Edge comes with Internet Explorer mode (IE mode).?

With Microsoft Edge's new, up-to-date features, you can access any website or online standard, old or new, and even improve your online experience.

The redirection cycle will add a "Reload in IE mode" button to the Microsoft Edge toolbar to help users start in IE mode. In this way, they can easily click the button to open the page in Internet Explorer mode if they encounter a website that may not function correctly or if they visit a website that requests that they open the website using Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge will attempt to ask if they would like the page to open in IE mode subsequently.

Microsoft Edge will determine the future of Internet Explorer.

Yeah, the fate is Microsoft Edge, and if you've ever used Internet Explorer to browse the web, to create tools to support your businesses and connect with people around the world; as a result, you've played a crucial role in the development of the web.?

As Microsoft Edge is configured, you are ready to use it as it is the best Windows program and includes IE mode; despite Internet Explorer not being available on Windows 11, you should just sign into Microsoft Edge and start browsing!

Microsoft Edge is also available on various platforms, including macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux.

As we said goodbye to Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge is ready to take its place as your go-to application for work, life, and everything.?

Microsoft Edge provides unmatched web similarity with IE mode, regardless of how long ago a site was created—ten years or ten days.
