A faux gravestone commemorating the recent death of Internet Explorer has gone viral in South Korea, both online and offline. Notably, it thanks IE for being a good tool to download other browsers.
Microsoft finally retired its ancient Internet Explorer (IE) web browser for most Windows SKUs just a couple of days ago. The browser won’t receive security updates or support on affected versions of Windows, and Microsoft will slowly redirect all IE usage to Edge over the next few months. Once this transition is complete, Internet Explorer will be disabled for good via a Windows Update. Given that the first public version of IE was released 27 years ago, this is obviously quite a significant move.
