So long, Internet Explorer. Finally, the browser is retiring.
On June 15, 2022, Microsoft stopped supporting Internet Explorer. The 27-year-old browser has now gone the way of BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems, and Palm Pilots. In 1995, Microsoft published the first version of Internet Explorer, ushering in a bygone era of online surfing dominated by Netscape Navigator, the first widely used browser. Its release marked the beginning of the end for Navigator: Microsoft moved on to fully integrate IE with its widely used Windows operating system, to the point where many people simply used it by default instead of Navigator. Users complained that Internet Explorer was slow, prone to crashing, and hackable.
