A year ago, Microsoft announced the final shutdown of Internet Explorer. IE mode in Microsoft Edge will be supported until at least 2029.

The last day

• Today, June 14, 2022, is the last day users can use the browser. tomorrow On June 15, the company will completely lose support.
• The browser will be disabled for users in all current versions of Windows 10. In Windows 11, IE 11 is no longer available and the default browser for Windows 11 is Edge.
• Now the company recommends that you switch from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge as soon as possible and not wait for it to close. During migration, users can import saved passwords, favorites and more to the new browser.
• It’s worth noting that Microsoft is trying to make the transition to Edge as easy as possible. In a press release, Microsoft’s Sean Lindersey mentions that Edge, the successor to IE, has a built-in “IE mode” that allows access to legacy Internet Explorer-based sites and programs in Microsoft Edge. The feature will be supported until at least 2029, giving developers who haven’t yet migrated to new technologies eight years to upgrade legacy apps.
• According to Microsoft, in the months following the end of support on June 15, the IE app will be gradually replaced by Microsoft Edge and will eventually be permanently disabled in all Windows versions. It should also be noted that you shouldn’t completely uninstall IE yourself, as IE 11 is required for Edge to be able to run IE mode.

It will be recalled that Internet Explorer, which was once the first window of the Internet for many users, reached the peak of its popularity in 2003. The “decline” only started after new browsers hit the market. With Google Chrome, Safari and Mozilla Firefox, competition was fierce for Microsoft and the company lost. In 2014, it decided to release a new browser that runs on its own engine and has a stylized logo for Internet Explorer. But things did not go well with him, and the company had to seriously fix the development. In 2018, he learned about the intention to port Edge from Google to the Chromium engine. This is how the Edge as we know it turned out.
