Automatically remove Internet Explorer from computers
According to Aetna from Isna, Microsoft announced the end of Internet Explorer last year, but this browser is still available on Windows computers around the world. The company has now started automatically removing Internet Explorer from users’ computers. A software update for the Edge browser has just been released that will permanently disable Internet Explorer 11 on any computer that still has it installed.
Internet Explorer, which was released on August 15, 1995, was officially retired on June 15, 2022, after 26 years and 10 months of operation. The arrival of Internet Explorer was accompanied by controversy from the very beginning. This browser was first released with Windows 95 in August 1995, but was later included in the retail version of Windows operating system. So anyone who bought a new computer had a copy of Microsoft’s web browser installed and used as the default program to access the Internet.
The move put Microsoft in trouble in the US, where the company faced a successful antitrust lawsuit and was forced to allow computer makers to install their preferred web browsers on the devices they sell.
According to Wired, given that Microsoft used to release this browser on every device, somehow, this end may be fitting for Internet Explorer.
