RIP to the amazing web browser that gave us the ability to download better web browsers (an honor that's passed down to IE's present-day successor, Microsoft Edge). Post memes and retrospectives on Internet Explorer here.

F Internet Explorer, I won’t miss you.

Internet Explorer has gone the way of the browser extension toolbar and Abode Flash. Another relic of an older digital age enters into the footnotes of history.

Ah yes, the web browser used to download a better web browser

 

[Anon88]

Lol I thought they already got rid of it years ago.

 

[NaggotFigger]

Good night sweet prince. May you rest in peace as the main browser that everyone uses to download better browser. Your son Edge will continue your bloodline.

Born to chrome forced to edge

This was already announced months ago I think. Edge is nothing but a Chrome-reskin. This is bad for everyone because the less browsers the are, the more Google has a monopoly to how the web has to look like. This could lead to things like adverts that are only very difficult to block.

Sure it was a shitty browser, but for a lot of people (me included) it was the first browser we used to access the Internet -- and download Chrome/Firefox/etc.
Rest in piece, fallen browser.

 

[What the shit]

I don't know why, but every other browser I've used takes forever to start.

I only use Edge so I don't have to sit with my thumb up my ass while whatever I'm using decides whether it wants to let me log on.

Microsoft keep a copy of Edge cached in RAM so it can open faster. Standard MS practice for making everyone else look shit. Once any other browser is open, it's way better.

I have a tweaker program called, and one of the options is to turn off prelaunching and it's still starts almost immediately:

Microsoft is lying to you cracker.

They always find a way round those programs. They patch around them.

Looks like he finally won in the long run. But, was it really worth it? Wonder what he's going to do now.

Once Opera switched from Presto to Blink, it was all ogre.

I only used IE and Fire Fox years ago. I don't like Google so I refuse to use Chrome. So I just stick with Edge which is what I use most of the time and I have no issue with it. After that it's Fire Fox, Brave and Tor. I only used Tor for one forum anyway.
