Today is a very important day for both the US-based technology giant Microsoft and all internet users around the world. Because today is the last day for Internet Explorer, the 25-year-old internet browser that was first published on August 16, 1995. Microsoft announced last year that Internet Explorer will be out of support as of June 15, 2022. So today is the last day for those who want to use Internet Explorer for the last time…
Internet Explorer, released for Windows 95, was the best browser in the industry in the early 2000s. However, browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, which were released in the following years, were preferred over Internet Explorer, especially thanks to their speed. Aware of this situation, Microsoft has developed an internet browser called Edge. Edge, which has received a major update in the past years and has become Chromium-based, will now serve as Microsoft’s only internet browser.
There was a connection between Internet Explorer and users
Internet Explorer had a very special place for users. Today, consumers approaching the age of 30 and older people made their first encounter with the Internet with Internet Explorer. However, this veteran scanner could not defy the years. The fact that its security features slow down the system has become unbearable for many users. Finally, it was expected and Internet Explorer was buried in the dusty shelves of history.
Although Microsoft’s iconic internet browser has not been used over the years, it has never been forgotten in the internet world. Once known as “caps”, now “memes”, the serious part of funny internet posts was related to the slowness of Internet Explorer. If you wish, let’s remember some of the posts about Internet Explorer on the day we say goodbye to this browser…
Some of the most popular memes shared for Internet Explorer are as follows:
What will users do?
Microsoft also announced what awaits users from today. Accordingly, Internet Explorer will no longer be possible to install on a new computer. Existing users will be directed to use Microsoft Edge. This will continue for several months. An update will then be released. This update, which Microsoft will send to Windows computers, will completely remove Internet Explorer downloads and the browser will literally disappear. No updates will be offered during this process.
What will happen to Internet Explorer compatible websites?
Some websites had Internet Explorer compatibility only. In addition, some companies use Internet Explorer-based systems. Microsoft says such users should use Microsoft Edge. The reason for this is that the company’s new internet browser has a mode called IE. The mod, which is built into the browser, runs Internet Explorer compatible websites without any problems.
