Recently, the US technology company Microsoft officially announced that it will permanently stop Internet Explorer (IE), the web browser created 25 years ago.
Internet Explorer (IE), the Internet access browser that was popular for a long time, is now ‘deathed’ by Microsoft after about 25 years. Microsoft will focus on Microsoft Edge to compete with rivals.
According to AFP news agency, Microsoft said that from June 15, 2022, IE will stop working. Users can switch to using Microsoft Edge – another browser of the company – instead. The announcement comes in the context of IE increasingly losing ground to web browsers of rival companies such as Google’s Chrome or Apple’s Safari. Microsoft says that Microsoft Edge will replace IE on Windows 10. Websites and applications developed based on the IE browser will continue to run on Microsoft Edge until at least 2029. Microsoft of the US officially announced that it will permanently stop Internet Explorer (IE). Illustration “Microsoft Edge delivers a browsing experience that’s not only faster, more secure, and more modern than IE, but it can also address an important concern: compatibility with older websites and apps. ” – Microsoft pointed out. Emphasizing further, Microsoft Edge program manager Sean Lyndersay said, “We are announcing that the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is Microsoft Edge. The Internet Explorer 11 desktop app will be discontinued and end of support on June 15, 2022 for certain versions of Windows 10.” While Windows 10’s Long Term Service Channel (LTSC) will still include Internet Explorer next year, all consumer versions of the operating system will stop supporting the browser. Microsoft did not specify, but it is likely that Internet Explorer will no longer be bundled with Windows by June of next year or shortly thereafter. For business customers who operate websites and applications that rely on Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge is bringing a feature called IE Mode. Microsoft created IE Mode for Microsoft Edge a few years ago to help businesses using the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser to be able to run older websites. IE Mode supports older ActiveX controls and legacy web pages. What is surprising is that it is still used by many businesses. Microsoft promises to support IE Mode in Microsoft Edge until at least 2029. Microsoft also ended Internet Explorer 11 support for the Microsoft Teams web app last year, and they are planning to cut it off from accessing Microsoft 365 services later this year. Internet Explorer 11 will no longer be supported for Microsoft online services such as Office 365, OneDrive, Outlook,… on August 17. An Duong (Th)
