With EDGE Microsoft mvoed towards a full Chromium-based browser. And they've been postponing the inevitable enough. Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11, the latest version of the web browser goes EOL, on June 15, 2022.

After that date the browser is thus permanently replaced in Windows 10 by Microsoft's newer browser, Edge. Back in the days Internet Explorer had a market share of 95 percent, currently that is one percent.

Internet Explorer 11 will be officially disabled on June 15, 2022, and users will be redirected to Edge. This applies to all consumer versions of Windows 10 as well as IoT versions, for Long Term Support Channel and Server variants there will still be support for IE for the time being.

Internet Explorer was issued by Microsoft in 1995. Roughly twenty years after the release of IE, Microsoft released its Edge browser as a replacement for Internet Explorer.

IE should have been automatically uninstalled by now from one of the update packs. Never used it myself. Edge(chromuim) is a step in the right direction.

Did you also deliberately step on Legos every morning and consume laxatives before every important event?

IE was the browser to use when something looked broken in any other browser, just to check if it was the browser or the site.
