Microsoft shuts down Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer was launched in 1995 and dominated the browser market for more than 10 years, packed in Windows, which customers are often installed on new computers.

Two decades ago, Microsoft was behind the accused's bank because of this package, and an American judge ruled that the company had violated competition regulations.

Microsoft appealed the decision, but the Supreme Court supported it and the company continued to install Internet Explorers in Windows, broadcast Reuters.

In the late 2000s, the Internet Explorer's position was threatened by Google Chrome, and Microsoft's browser became subject to countless memes that scoffed at its slowness compared to competition.

To adapt to competition, Microsoft introduced the Edge Browser in 2015, which uses the same technology as Google Chrome.

In April of this year, Chrome held a 65 per cent share of the global browser market, followed by Apple's Safar with an 18 - percent turnout, the internet analysis company Statcounter reported.

Microsoft's Edge had a three - percent percentage, and Internet Explorer was reduced to a small part of the once prevalent market.

Microsoft has now decided to put everything on a map, close Explorer and replace it with Edge.

“Application Internet Explorer 11 is retiring and support will be suspended on June 15th 2022 for certain versions of Windows 10”, the company said in a blog post.
