Ye Qingjie!Microsoft officially announced: next June, IE browser will completely withdraw from the stage of history

After just a few decades of development, the Internet is now a “rigid need” that people cannot live without. As one of the indispensable tools for surfing the Internet, the once famous IE browser is the “enlightenment browser” for many people to surf the Internet, and the “partner” they met when they first came into contact with the Internet. After more than 20 years of glory, it is about to withdraw from the stage of history.
According to the news released by Microsoft, from June 15, 2021, most versions of Windows 10 will no longer support IE browser. Many friends who use Windows 10 have also discovered that IE browser has been upgraded to Edge browser. Device.

Internet Explorer is the web browser that originally comes with Windows. As the “veteran” among the browsers, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was once pre-installed on billions of computers running the Windows operating system. At the peak of IE, more than 95% of the global browser market was captured by IE. However, the user experience of IE browser is not very good. This market share is also due to Microsoft’s bundling. And because of its single function and long response time, its compatibility lags far behind other browsers, and the hidden dangers of security vulnerabilities have always existed. This leads to a phenomenon that many people have Internet Explorer installed on their computers. , But will not use it, many people turn to download other browsers. In 2008, after the emergence of Google Chrome, IE was forgotten even faster. In 2012, the market share of Google Chrome surpassed IE. In order to defend the status of the IE browser, Microsoft developed the Edge browser in 2013 and bundled it into the Windows 10 system; in January 2020, Microsoft officially released a new Chromium-based Edge browser. Since then, the browser The performance of the Edge browser is not bad, and the market share continues to grow. As of November 2020, the Edge browser market share has reached 11.06%. In the 2011 “50 Worst Tech Products in the History of Technology” list, IE6 ranked 11th. The footsteps of history came to 2015, in the browser market, the share of IE browser is only less than 20%, only 15.71%. Microsoft can no longer meet the needs of today’s era. The manager of Microsoft’s IE marketing department once joked that IE6 seems to have become a joke among its peers. There are more and more people mocking IE on the Internet. All kinds of jokes make people laugh, and some people even ridicule publicly. The existence of IE is mainly for downloading other browsers. The end of IE browser seems inevitable. According to Microsoft, most consumers have not used the IE browser for so many years, so Microsoft adjusted its strategy in due course. Nowadays, the IE browser of some Windows 10 users has been replaced by Edge. According to the data, as of 2021 In April 2008, IE’s market share was actually less than 2% on the global desktop computer browsers. According to Microsoft’s plan, for certain versions of Windows 10, the IE11 desktop application will be deactivated on June 15 next year and will no longer be supported. In fact, as early as before, foreign media reported that Microsoft planned to abandon the IE browser. Due to the previous deregulation of IE, it was forced to give up its market share. Microsoft took out Edge to try to restore the decline. Microsoft also called on companies. Give up IE browser and use Edge instead. But it has been launched for 5 years now, and it seems that it has not regained the lost ground. Data show that as of April this year, the share of the Edge browser in the global browser market is only 3%. The rival Google Chrome has a market share of more than 65%. In addition, with the development of the Internet, people rely more on smartphones when surfing the Internet. Many vertical applications have basically solved people’s daily needs. Although browsers sometimes still have their own unique functions, it is obvious that their functions are gradually being marginalized. Functions such as takeaway, taxi, search, reading, and information can be easily implemented on many people’s mobile phones. Because of this, many people’s browsers have not been opened. Although Microsoft gave up IE, it did not give up the cake of the entire browser world. After the curtain call of the IE browser, Microsoft Edge took the heavy burden, although this new browser could not compete with the powerful Google browser and a variety of cost-effective domestic browsers. After all, the 360 ​​browser, the Firefox browser QQ browser and QQ browser have taken a lot of browser market share, but it is always a new journey and new attempt by Microsoft. All in all, the IE browser that grew up with us has also come to the end of its own era, and will be completely surrendered to others in the near future.
