The world officially ‘parts’ Internet Explorer in 2022

Microsoft has fixed the ‘death’ of the Internet Explorer browser on Windows 10 from June 2022, ending its development and existence for more than 25 years.

Microsoft has decided to “death” Internet Explorer in June 2022 The Sean Lyndersay, Microsoft Edge project leader, said that Internet Explorer 11 on some versions of Windows 10 will be discontinued, no longer updated from June 15, 2022 to switch to the newer Microsoft Edge browser. Last year, the web-based Microsoft Teams app stopped supporting Internet Explorer 11. While the Windows 10 Long-Term Update Service (LTSC) still comes pre-installed with Internet Explorer, the versions of Windows 10 for users from next year will no longer support this browser. In addition, Internet Explorer 11 will no longer be supported for Microsoft online services such as Office 365, OneDrive, Outlook, … on August 17. Launched on August 16, 1995 on Windows operating system, Internet Explorer was once the world’s most popular browser in the 2000s and an iconic product in the technology field. The free version of Internet Explorer 4.0 bundled with the Windows operating system is a move that proves how important it is for the tech giant. Together with the free use of IE 5.0 in 1999 with Windows 98, it made it easier for Microsoft to take market share from Netscape and successfully destroy Netscape Navigator, thereby achieving a monopoly on the internet in the early 2000s. At its peak in 2002, Internet Explorer dominated 95% of the browser market. However, Microsoft failed to innovate Internet Explorer 6 when “abandoning” this browser for 5 years. This tech giant is constantly indifferent to web standards and misses out on many features worth updating. Internet Explorer has also been criticized as one of the “all-time tech wastes. Technology experts also pointed out, Microsoft did not follow the principles set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium – the organization that sets standards for web technology. As a result, Internet Explorer often makes web pages on its browser deviate from Opera and Firefox. At the same time, by the time Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 in 2006, the web browser market was beginning to change. Internet Explorer customers have been looking to more modern browsers in recent times such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox… Since then, Internet Explorer is synonymous with bugs, security issues, outdated and lost technology. top position. In recent years, Micorsoft is focusing on developing Microsoft Edge browser duyệt According to browser usage tracking company NetMarketShare, Internet Exploree’s share of the browser market fell below the 50% threshold in 2010 and is now only around 5%. In 2011, Microsoft finally released a modern browser, Internet Explorer 9 as an attempt to revive Internet Explorer, but to this day, the browser still does not support extensions, cannot Works on non-Windows devices and doesn’t sync with other devices by default like all major Chrome and Firefox software. The failure of Internet Explorer set off alarm bells for Microsoft. Over the past decade, Internet usage has shifted from desktop to mobile, where Google and Apple dominate, curtailing the tech giant’s market share. According to analytics company Statscounter, as of April 2021, Google’s Chrome browser accounted for 65% of the market share, while Apple’s Safari ranked second with nearly 19% market share. Third and fourth are Firefox (3.59% market share) and Edge (3.39% market share), respectively. Therefore, the failure of Windows Phone is putting Microsoft at a disadvantage. Although Microsoft has browser applications on both Android and iOS operating systems, most users still have the habit of using the built-in browser on their smartphone. Therefore, even with investment in the continued development of the Microsoft Edge browser, it may still have difficulty competing with rivals Apple and Google.
