According to a fresh wave of notices issued to Windows 10 users, Internet Explorer will first be removed from newer builds of the OS in June. If you like to avoid Windows updates, you might find that the browser will exist for a little longer, but it’s safe to say the software is ready to be properly consigned to history.


Microsoft Edge has been patiently waiting at the sidelines to replace Internet Explorer since its 2015 debut, and it’ll start properly filling in for its elder shortly. As a result, legacy IE shortcuts should launch the new Chromium-based browser, something that could come as a shock if you’re not used to the newcomer’s cleaner aesthetic.

If you’re a gaming PC enthusiast, you’ve likely not launched Microsoft’s doorway to the net in a very long time. In a blog post last year, The company also covered its intentions to discontinue Internet Explorer in the blog post last year, so the fact it’s ready to finally kick the bucket might not be too much of a surprise.

it should have been buried after WIN95. Finally the nightmare is over and I don't have to see that Icon ever again.

All my pages of porn bookmarks disappeared after my Xbox replaced Internet explorer with Edge a while back. That coupled with all the best videos being deleted off Pornhub some years ago during the great purge has put a real dent in my MS Browser enjoyment.
