End of an era: Microsoft shuts down Internet Explorer after 27 years

Internet Explorer, offered to users as a web browser with the Plus add-on package of Windows 95, is being removed from the dusty shelves of history after 27 years. As it is known, Microsoft, which announced its plans to terminate Internet Explorer in favor of Microsoft Edge in 2016, announced the exact date that the browser will be unplugged today.

Saying goodbye to nostalgic memories

Internet Explorer, which reached a 95 percent usage share in 2003 and was very popular, lost its user base to a large extent due to the rise of Google Chrome, Opera and other browsers. However, Microsoft Teams’ Internet Explorer support was terminated in 2020, while Microsoft 365 became the second application whose support for the browser was discontinued in 2021.

90 Internet Explorer, which was the first gateway to the internet for millions of people around the world in the ‘s and early 2000s, and also offers the opportunity to access today’s popular browsers for a long time, will say goodbye to users on June 15, according to Microsoft.
