There are just under three months left for Internet Explorer, Microsoft’s popular browser. From June 15, the web browsing software will be eliminated entirely and replaced by Edge, the successor launched exactly two years ago. The Redmond giant has published a new article in which he recalls the timing already decided for Explorer, a program that, for the company, is no longer in step with the times, unsafe and unable to support many of the sites created with modern technologies . According to the latest data from Stat Counter, which also analyzes the web browser market, Internet Explorer is used by 0.47% of all users while at the opposite apex is Google’s Chrome, chosen by 62.78% of surfers. .

The current version of Microsoft’s software, number 11, will no longer receive any official support from the parent company and at a later stage will result in a forced addressing to Microsoft Edge, pre-installed on Windows 10. The so-called ‘Internet Explorer mode will still remain. ‘of Edge, which allows you to visit older sites by mimicking the code behavior of the old browser, when heading to outdated sites. Despite having pushed Edge for some time, Microsoft has never managed to bring it to noteworthy percentages, capable of seriously competing with Chrome. To date, the new browser from Redmond is just above the 4.6% threshold of global use while, at its peak, Internet Explorer had reached over 90%, in years when competition was almost completely absent. The first version was launched in 1995 while the last one has not been updated since 2013.
