Believe it or not, Microsoft Internet Explorer is still "alive", but not for long. 

Microsoft has announced that Internet Explorer, the firm's oldest browser will be completely removed from June 15 this year. Internet Explorer was launched in 1995 as an add-on package for Windows 95.

The 27-year-old browser peaked with 95% usage in 2003. However, Internet Explorer could not maintain its position and its user base began to decline drastically as other competitors launched new browsers with better interfaces. higher internet speed and smoother performance.

Internet Explorer, over time, has become a default browser used to install other browsers.

27 years of long service, Internet Explorer is retiring forever. Some might argue that it came many years, too late. It was a long, slow death (unwanted job) of the once most used browser.

However, Internet Explorer will only be on Microsoft Edge, which already has a built-in "Internet Explorer mode". Microsoft said in 2019 that it planned to add an Internet Explorer mode within the Edge and the virtualized browser continues as a configurable mode within the Microsoft Edge. This is important because the modern Edge browser is simply ever more secure than Internet Explorer. 

"Microsoft Edge is not only a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older sites and older applications," Microsoft explained in a statement. blog post last year.
