However, there are several key differences between the two browsers. Both browsers are available on Windows and allow users to browse the internet. Edge is a web browser that was released by Microsoft in 2015. Internet Explorer is a web browser that was released by Microsoft in 1995. What do you think about Microsoft’s move to kill Internet Explorer? Comment below or let us know on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook. This announcement officially marked the end of the process. Microsoft had been slowly moving its users to the Edge browser delivering better facilities and services and cutting down the support on IE. Microsoft seems to have been planning to sunset Internet Explorer for years, since the launch of the Edge browser in 2015. This mode will allow users to access all the sites that are built just for Internet Explorer until Microsoft drops them completely. To help users move gradually to the new browser and get accustomed to the changes, Microsoft has deployed a new Internet Explorer legacy mode in the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. Post this date, the company will not release any security updates for the browser.
Haunting the OS and the IE compat in Edge.Īlong with this, Microsoft also made the announcement to drop support for its legacy version of Microsoft Edge on March 9, 2021. Wes Miller, an ex-employee of Microsoft and a research Analyst, says that IE will continue to be around as the underlying support for the new face (Edge). Although Microsoft holds the power to auto-upgrade its users to the new Edge, it does not seem to be doing it just yet and is giving users time to shift before IE 11 ceases to exist. Users trying to access the apps and services post these dates may experience a glitch because the browser will no longer support a lot of features. However, Microsoft is encouraging users to switch to the new Microsoft Edge which allows access to an Internet Explorer mode to maintain compatibility.

MSFT is renowned for legacy support IE wont die for a while. Yes, MSFT will drop IE on some of their sites next year, but they hold the power to auto-upgrade IE11 to Edge on Windows and aren't doing so.
We all want IE to go away, but misleading headlines won't make it be true.
