Much to everyone's surprise, in 2012, the tech giant came up with 'The Browser You Loved to Hate' promotional campaign which said the old versions of IE were good for only one thing: "downloading another browser."
The death of the browser was already on the cards as the world moved to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and other browsers.Īmid this, Internet Explorer became just a medium for people to download other browsers.Įven Microsoft accepted it and tried to use it to rebrand the browser. Interestingly, the same popular accounts or pages on Instagram and Twitter bid adieu to the good old Internet Explorer with full respect, dedicating a post filled with nostalgia. There was hardly a flicker of hope for the forgotten browser and its misery became fodder for memes and viral posts on the modern internet. “Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10,” Microsoft said in a blog post.įor the uninitiated, the browser was well alive so far, and it's going to die officially on June 15.
The death of one of the first web browsers - the Internet Explorer - has been slow and painful.
