Several reliable sources on the internet and in the media have corroborated the fact that a pre-eminent web browser Internet Explorer, which is renowned for being the first-ever World Wide Web service, might go out of support in 2022.
Up until now, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge were both in support of the Windows Operating system, however, tech giant Microsoft has now decided that the company will solely rely on Microsoft Edge as the go-to browser for the Windows 10 operating system.
It may sound emotional for some users, but the time has come for the old to go so that the new can strongly gain a foothold in the world. The moment has arrived where we have to bid our final adieu to the Internet Explorer. Microsoft has decided to put the web browser to bed forever as it looks to shift its focus entirely to Microsoft Edge. The fact of the matter is that a blog post had emerged on the internet on Wednesday about Windows 10, which suggest that come the June of 2022 (June the 15th, 2022, precisely), the Internet Explorer 11, an application commonly seen in Windows 10 computer will be discarded completely, and its services will no longer be available to the users of numerous versions of Windows 10.
The blog post made no uncertainty about the fact that the forthcoming future of Internet Explorer will no longer be defined by its well-known web browser. Its existence will solely exist in Microsoft Edge. In simpler terms, you can imagine Microsoft Edge taking the hot seat of being the primary web browser offered by Microsoft. Microsoft Edge is the latest browser launched by Microsoft in the year 2015, and the blog post alluded to the fact that the company has all plans to put its entire trust in it and discarding Internet Explorer completely. The reason for putting Internet Explorer out of service in 2022 was also given in the blog post. It indicated that the company reckons that not only Microsoft Edge is a faster, sophisticated, and secure search engine, but it also offers compatibility with preceding and older versions of the legacy websites, pages, and applications, which is rare and has remained a key concern for Microsoft Edge over the years.
If you have used Microsoft Edge over the years, you must be familiar with the fact that the web browser has something called an “IE” mode, which lets you have access to the old Explorer-based domains, websites, pages, and applications directly from the Microsoft Edge search engine.
For some users, the news hasn’t been much of a surprise. It was only in 2020 that the tech giant Microsoft had revealed that the applications and tools suite of Microsoft 365 would come to a halt for the well-known web browser Internet Explorer 11 sometime around this year, i.e., August the 17th, 2021. Now, if you want to dig in some more details about this issue, and you seek to know which version of the pre-eminent Operating System Windows 10 would drop Internet Explorer from its list of services, you can easily visit the official website of Microsoft and satisfy your curiosity.
If you seek to find out what privacy settings you should alter in Microsoft Edge or some features that you don’t know in Windows 10, you can head over to the CNET website as they have some pretty interesting articles regarding Windows 10. Now, you should keep an eye on the May update of Windows 10, which will introduce some small tweaks, and would pave the way for a massive user-interface overhaul.
