Internet Explorer

After 27 years, Microsoft is finally retiring Internet Explorer. Support ends today, but IE mode will live on in Edge to provide compatibility for ...

While Microsoft has moved to its Chromium-powered Edge as the default browser on Windows 11, the MSHTML engine that powers Internet Explorer is still part of Windows 11. You can read more about how Microsoft is handling the removal of Internet Explorer in Windows right here. The aging web browser is being sunset in favor of Microsoft Edge, with support being officially withdrawn for IE 11 today.

Security flaws, antitrust memories and slower speed dragged down Internet Explorer as Google Chrome came to rule. Now Microsoft is promoting its Edge ...

When the U.S. Justice Department filed its landmark antitrust case against Microsoft in 1998, the federal agency described the bundling of Internet Explorer in Windows 95 as an "illegal tie-in." Edge is, he said, "the best browser for Windows." Internet Explorer took a commanding lead in browser market share thanks to its inclusion in Windows, the world's most widely used PC operating system. Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer in the Windows 95 operating system free of charge. "Over the next few months, opening Internet Explorer will progressively redirect users to our new modern browser, Microsoft Edge with IE mode," Sean Lyndersay, a general manager at the company, wrote in a blog post. "Microsoft Edge will also check in with the user every 30 days to make sure they still need IE mode for the site," he wrote.

IE's demise was not a surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, ...

It also tangled with European regulators who said that tying Internet Explorer to Windows gave it an unfair advantage over rivals such as Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera and Google’s Chrome. IE’s market share, which in the early 2000s was over 90%, began to fade as users found more appealing alternatives. The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history.

After nearly 27 years, an iconic Microsoft product is finally being put to rest.

IE soon became known for its bugs, security issues and slow tech, and its share of the browser market fell below the 50% threshold in 2010. At its 2002 peak, Internet Explorer commanded 95% of the browser market. IE mode allows users to access older, Internet Explorer-based websites and applications from Edge. Eventually, Microsoft plans on releasing a Windows Update that will remove all IE icons from devices.

Microsoft will end support for its Internet Explorer browser today, on June 15, 2022. Here's what it means for you.

Microsoft’s support page says that it will withdraw IE Mode support for Windows 10 when support for the operating system ends. What’s somewhat new is that Microsoft plans to end support for Edge’s IE Mode in the future, too. (Microsoft says that won’t happen for all devices all at once, though its guidance is geared toward businesses.) That will mean two things, according to Microsoft. First, your taskbar’s Internet Explorer icon will instead redirect to Microsoft Edge; and second, a “reload in IE Mode” button will be added to the taskbar, too. Microsoft wants you to move to a safer browser. The reality, however, is that virtually all modern browsers are free, safe, and convenient to adopt. But Microsoft basically feels that Edge is a better tool to access those sites, anyway. Instead, Microsoft will retire IE in two phases: first, devices will be “progressively redirected” from IE to Microsoft’s built-in browser, Microsoft Edge, over the next few months. All Microsoft is doing is evicting its residents to something it believes it will be safer to live in. If Internet Explorer is discovered to be vulnerable to malware, for example, you’re on your own. The vast majority of Windows PCs do not use Internet Explorer, so most people won’t be affected whatsoever by its death. Internet Explorer’s desktop application will be retired on Windows 10 PCs beginning today, June 15, 2022. The answer to that is: well, sort of.

Pero ahora lo dominan Google Chrome, Safari de Apple y Mozilla Firefox. Los usuarios que desean seguir teniendo su navegador con Microsoft están siendo ...

Aunque su visión de "una microcomputadora en cada escritorio y en cada hogar, que ejecuta el software de Microsoft" ahora puede parecer una reminiscencia de una era pasada en la que se accedía a internet a través de la línea telefónica, Internet Explorer será recordado como una de las herramientas clave que dieron forma al camino en el que hoy en día se usa internet. En 1995, el cofundador de Microsoft, Bill Gates, dijo que el lanzamiento de Windows 95, y con él Internet Explorer, formaría parte de los esfuerzos del gigante tecnológico para aprovechar el "terremoto que supuso la llegada de internet". Sobre todo cuando el navegador preinstalado de Apple, Safari, y el Chrome de Google en los teléfonos Android ayudaron a cambiar el acceso y el uso de internet desde el escritorio al ámbito móvil.

Hoy es el día en que Internet Explorer de Microsoft ha llegado a su fin. Esto serían unas 9 millones de personas, según informó PC World. Debido a que la gran mayoría de las computadoras no usan Internet Explorer, es poco probable que alguien se vea afectado por su desaparición.

When Edge came online in 2015, AdWeek's Kristina Monllos told NPR that an departure date for the embattled Explorer was overdue. At the time on social media, people familiar with Explorer paid tribute to the flawed browser.

Bye-bye IE: Microsoft to say goodbye to IE, retiring its Internet Explorer web browser on Windows 10 Last May, the company first announced the decision to retire the web browser for certain versions of Windows 10 on June 15, 2022. Internet Explorer had been the go-to browser on Windows PCs for years before rivals such as Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome snagged users away. In less than 24 hours, some 27 years after the company first debuted the browser, Microsoft will retire Internet Explorer.

He called Edge a “faster, more secure and more modern browser.” In the years since, many Internet Explorer users switched to Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari, finding them faster, safer and less likely to crash. “It did the job but nobody got excited about a really low-performance, unlovable browser.” Bill Clinton was in the White House.

Microsoft will formally deactivate the 27-year-old browser in an upcoming Windows update.

Microsoft itself eventually acknowledged that the older browser was fatally out of step with the modern internet, all-but-replacing it with Edge, which came bundled with Windows 10. (Even so, Chrome remains the predominant browser choice for Windows users, beating Edge with 66 percent of market share to the Microsoft product’s 10.) Internet Explorer was 27; it is survived by many better ways to browse the internet.

After 27 years, Microsoft will officially be shutting down Internet Explorer starting Wednesday of this week." "The tale of IE's rise to dominance and then eventual decline to irrelevance parallels the evolution of ecommerce and other activities. That wasn't the end for IE, but perhaps to quote the late Sir Winston Churchill it was the "end of the beginning." Among those who are in the 27 club are blues musician Robert Johnson, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse. For some it was like the passing of an old friend. Microsoft's activities around IE, including bundling it with Windows, also led to the company being charged with violating the Sherman Antitrust Act," said technology industry analyst Charles King of Pund-IT.

The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history.

So I think we just appreciate it for what it was and we look forward to the next thing. Is there anything you can say for Internet Explorer that is a tribute to the way it's shaped our online experience? You know, part of this is the kind of longer legacy of big institutions using Microsoft operating systems and software and baking those into their operations. If you were using a web browser, you were using Netscape. And Microsoft is trying to try to come and get part of that market. At the time, Microsoft software was running - you know, upwards of 90% of the computers on the planet had Microsoft operating systems and apps on them. O'MARA: Yeah. But no, it tells us - it's a reminder that the tech world moves fast. SHAPIRO: Why was it so successful back in the day? Now, look; Internet Explorer appears in the summer of 1995 when the dominant browser is Netscape. And that is the superstar. For many of us, it was an early online relationship, kind of like a starter marriage. And so when everyone opened up their computer, there it was. Thank you for joining us to remember this giant of the early internet. I'm like a lot of people.

Microsoft to expunge Internet Explorer 11 in a future Windows Update.

"For certain versions of Windows currently in-support and used in critical environments, we will continue to support Internet Explorer on those versions until they go out of support. Eventually, Internet Explorer will be disabled permanently as part of a future Windows Update, at which point the Internet Explorer icons on users' devices will be removed." After this redirection phase, Internet Explorer will be permanently disabled on devices via a future Windows Update," explains Lyndersay. Users can click it to open a legacy page in IE mode. That's because Microsoft is well aware of how long it can take to wean users off a major version of a browser. After 27 years as Microsoft's Windows web browser, Internet Explorer (IE) is no longer supported.

As of June 15, Microsoft ended support for Explorer on several versions of Windows 10 – meaning no more productivity, reliability or security updates. Explorer ...

Microsoft’s Edge browser is using the same Chromium open-source code that Chrome has used since its inception. So ultimately, the browser that can most effectively balance security and ease of use will win users. Individuals can even contribute to the source code, thereby enhancing the software’s productivity, reliability and security. What has given Chrome such a leg-up in the browser market? Being open source means the software is publicly available, and anyone can inspect the source code that runs behind it. After all, it was only in 1993 that Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the web, released the first public web browser (aptly called WorldWideWeb).
