Microsoft calls time on out-of-favour web browsers Internet Explorer and Edge Legacy.
Microsoft has announced the sun will finally set on its web browsers Internet Explorer and Edge Legacy next year, as plans for a phased termination are brought to a close. According to a new blog post published by the firm, Edge Legacy will reach end of life on March 9 2021 (replaced by the far superior Edge Chromium), while Microsoft 365 apps will end support for Internet Explorer 11 on August 17 2021. After these deadlines have passed, users of the unsupported browsers will suffer a “degraded experience”; new Microsoft 365 features will be unavailable to stragglers and existing web app features will be disabled. Internet Explorer has long been the butt of jokes in the technology community, ridiculed for its speed issues and clunky user experience.
