Internet Explorer by พิตราภรณ์ รัตนมธุวงศ์

Microsoft will no longer support Internet Explorer, the internet browser that many people loved to hate.
The big technology company based in Redmond, Washington, said Internet Explorer, or IE, will end on June 15.
The 27-year-old browser now joins other kinds of technology products that are no longer used: BlackBerry phones, Palm Pilots and dial-up modems.
IE’s end was not a surprise. Microsoft announced the move last year. The technology company has been pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015.

The company made clear then it was time to move on.

Sean Lyndersay is general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise. Lyndersay described Microsoft Edge as “a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer,” in a May 2021 blog post.

Users marked Explorer’s passing on Twitter. Some criticized the browser; while others posted 1990′s nostalgia memes – images that bring back fun or happy memories.

Microsoft released the first version of Internet Explorer in 1995. At the same time, Netscape Navigator was the most popular browser. Internet Explorer’s launch signaled the beginning of the end of Navigator.

Microsoft went on to tie IE and its Windows operating system tightly together.

But Microsoft faced legal battles in the U.S. in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s over its efforts to keep out competing browsers.
