Internet Explorer enters End-of-life!

Recommended for Middle Grades

Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer (IE) on June 15, 2022. In 1995, the first version of IE for Windows desktop computers came out.

What is a Web Browser?

An application that allows users to access and see webpages is known as a ‘browser’, short for ‘web browser’.

Fun facts about Internet Explorer!

  • Since the first version of Internet Explorer came out in 1995, Microsoft has made 11 versions of it.
  • The name “O’Hare” for the first version of Internet Explorer came from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
  • IE was first made fun of in a movie called “The Browser You Loved to Hate,” which was made by Microsoft. The video poked fun at Internet Explorer’s problems and made light of them.
  • The first few versions of IE were the first to let you download and install a browser for “free.”
  • On our desktops, we all love having shortcut icons or tab icons for our favourite websites and apps. When Internet Explorer 5 came out, it was the first browser to support this feature.

Farewell Internet Explorer!

Internet Explorer will be remembered as one of the most important tools that changed how people use and access the internet even today. This is because IE was one of the first browsers to support tabbed browsing.
