After 27 years, Microsoft's Internet Explorer is officially retiring.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer is being phased out after more than 27 years of service to the public. The business made the browser, which was first released in 1995 as an add-on package for Windows 95, available for free as part of its knowledge.

From June 15, 2022, Internet Explorer will be decommissioned. According to the reports, despite reaching a high of 95 percent usage in 2003, the browser was unable to maintain its position, and its user base began to decline dramatically. If you are preparing for competitive exams and looking for expert guidance, you can download our General Knowledge Free Ebook Download Now.

Several new browser competitors have entered the market, offering improved user interfaces, faster internet speeds, and smoother performance. It appears that Internet Explorer was unable to compete and has gradually devolved into "simply a default explorer used to install alternative browsers."

"The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 resides in Microsoft Edge," according to Sean Lyndersay, Microsoft Edge program manager. "Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, safer, and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer," he said, "but it also solves a critical concern: compatibility with older, legacy websites and applications."

Microsoft stopped developing new features for the browser in 2016, and this may be the first time the company has decided to phase out the browser.
