Microsoft’s Internet Explorer retired after 27 years on 15th June

Microsoft has announced the retirement of 27-year-old Internet Explorer (IE) as the firm’s oldest browser will be completely phased out from June 15. Microsoft released the first version of Internet Explorer in 1995 as an add-on package for Windows 95, the antediluvian era of web surfing dominated by the first widely popular browser, Netscape Navigator.

Microsoft Edge is “faster and more secure” on Windows 10. Internet Explorer will no longer support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10. Microsoft spent more than $100 million per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s.
