Microsoft has once again asked people to avoid using its outmoded Web Browser, which is nearing the end of its lifespan.
The corporation has informed people once more that Internet Explorer 11 will be phased out of Windows 10 in June this year, with Microsoft Edge taking its place.
Nevertheless, it appears that certain people might be hesitant to make the switch, with the company obliged to warn that Internet Explorer’s time is almost up.
“As previously indicated, Microsoft Edge is the successor of Internet Explorer on Windows,” the company claimed in a company announcement.
“For some versions of Windows 10, the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop app will be decommissioned on June 15, this year. This implies that the IE11 desktop app will no longer be available and will instead redirect users to Edge browser whenever they attempt to access it.”
Again, for the moment being, those who are very nostalgic may continue to utilize Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) inside Edge. IE mode is built to assist legacy sites and apps inside Edge till they can be migrated to the new software.
The company initially announced intentions to end support for Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 in August 2020 and has been steadily reducing services for the software ever since.
The Microsoft 365 date expired in August last year, however, some applications might still run in the web browser, although with significantly reduced functionality.
External tools were also withdrawn, with Google Search discontinuing service for Internet Explorer in October last year, rendering the web browser depending on its own in-house Bing search, and assistance for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and other Google Workspace apps discontinuing in March last year.
Microsoft Edge continued to try to outperform Apple’s Safari in the worldwide browser market, with the latest data putting it on the brink of exceeding it.
According to the most recent data, Microsoft Edge is currently used on 9.54 percent of computers globally, trailing only Safari (9.84 percent), but both are far behind market leader Google Chrome (65.38 percent).
