About Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer, the so-called IE browser, is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included in the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting in 1995.

Internet Explorer was once the most widely used web browser, but its usage share has since declined with the launch of Firefox (2004) and Google Chrome (2008). Eventually, in 2015, Microsoft replaced Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer 11 is the last release of the browser.

In addition, Microsoft announced that full support for Internet Explorer would be discontinued on June 15, 2022. After that, the alternative will be Microsoft Edge with IE mode for legacy sites. Here is the guide on how to enable the Internet Explorer mode on Microsoft Edge:

  • Open the Microsoft Edge and click the three-dot button in the top-right corner of the Edge browser.
  • Go to Settings > Default browser and find Internet Explorer compatibility. Under it, click on the dropdown menu for Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode. Then, select Allow.
  • Restart the browser and open a website.
  • Click the three-dot button and choose Reload in Internet Explorer mode.
