When our computer monitors were still square and Paint was an endless source of hours of fun, Internet Explorer was <strong>the gateway to the Internet<\/strong>. Over the years, other browsers such as <strong>Mozilla Firefox<\/strong> or <strong>Google Chrome<\/strong> began to appear and, quickly, the use of Internet Explorer plummeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After several updates and attempts by Microsoft to<strong> re-popularize its classic browser<\/strong> (included as standard in all Windows operating systems), the company finally threw in the towel and developed what would become its current browser: Microsoft Edge, based on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chromium_(web_browser)\" title=\"Chromium\">Chromium<\/a><\/strong>.

The date decided, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/windows-it-pro-blog\/internet-explorer-11-desktop-app-retirement-faq\/ba-p\/2366549\" title=\"company's blog\">company&#8217;s blog<\/a>, is <strong>February 14<\/strong>. On that day, Microsoft will release <strong>an update for Edge<\/strong> that will completely disable Internet Explorer 11, the latest version of the classic browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, Microsoft said that Internet Explorer 11 would be disabled through a Windows update, but, in the end, it will do so through an update for Edge itself. According to the company, this is to provide a better user experience and <strong>make the transition to Edge easier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/the-future-is-microsoft-edge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271298\" width=\"392\" height=\"552\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s not all. Microsoft will also <strong>remove any visual reference to Internet Explorer<\/strong> from Windows 10 with the <strong>Patch Tuesday<\/strong> update it will release in June, which means you will no longer see the browser logo in the taskbar or Start menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microsoft Edge | How to set up Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A2o0x9-0urE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deactivation of the old Microsoft browser makes even more sense if we take into account that one of the main features of the current version of Edge is the <strong>Internet Explorer Mode<\/strong>, which basically allows you to open any web page as if they were running in Internet Explorer. A utility designed for all those websites that, in the middle of the year 2023, still need to run solely and exclusively in this browser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After more than two decades on our computers, Microsoft has decided to end Internet Explorer, the browser many people grew up with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9256,"featured_media":212700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-212699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9256"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212699"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":322206,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212699\/revisions\/322206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212699"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=212699"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=212699"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=212699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
