Goodbye, Internet Explorer!

Thank You for the Memories

After 27 years of service, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser is finally being retired. The company announced on June 15, 2022, that support for the browser would end on August 17, 2022. This means that Internet Explorer will no longer receive security updates or technical support after this date.

A Farewell to a Once-Dominant Browser

Internet Explorer (IE) was released in 1995, marking the beginning of the internet browsing era. At the time, IE quickly became the most popular browser and held a dominant position in the market for many years. However, in recent years, IE's popularity has declined as other browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have gained traction due to their faster performance, better features, and a more intuitive design.

What Does This Mean for Users?

If you are still using Internet Explorer, it is highly recommended that you switch to a more modern and secure browser. Microsoft recommends using its own Microsoft Edge browser, which is based on the Chromium engine and offers a faster and more secure browsing experience. Other popular browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari are also recommended.

A Legacy Remembered

Internet Explorer may be retiring, but it will always hold a special place in history as the browser that opened up the internet to the masses. It played a pivotal role in shaping the way we use the internet today, and for that, we say thank you, Internet Explorer!
