    After 25 years Microsoft ends Internet Explorer

    19 august 2020

    It's a day that many of us hoped would never come, but after 25 years it's the end of the road for Internet Explorer.

     

    Microsoft's iconic web browser is set for the scrapheap after the tech firm announced that it would not be using the app in the future.

    by 17 August 2021, none of Microsoft's 365 app and services will work with the browser, and those sites that were designed for Explorer will see a 'degraded experience'.

    For degraded experiences, new Microsoft 365 features will not be available or certain features may cease to work when accessing the app or service

    But it's been a long time coming, with leaner and better browsers, such as Microsoft's Edge browser, which came out five years ago, as well as those of its competitors, with Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome browsers dominating the market.
