Microsoft, which will end support for Internet Explorer in February 2023, has issued a final appeal to users.

ISTANBUL (IGFA) – Internet Explorer, an Internet browser developed by Microsoft, was first offered to users on August 16, 1995.

On February 14, 2023, Microsoft announced that it will be disabling Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 10. Users are redirected to the Microsoft Edge browser.
