With the release of a new browser, the older one doesn’t fall into disuse. Microsoft Edge is a new browser that appears to be doing well with users from the numbers. In response, Microsoft created a newer browser that is faster (actually much faster), conforms to standards, and runs on the Chromium engine. Nevertheless, I can say with my observation that Internet Explorer use declined rapidly among those using new computers.
Even if you were born in the 00s, you probably didn’t use Internet Explorer until recently, except under particular circumstances, such as working on old computers in IT organizations, banks, etc. Support for Internet Explorer ended on June 15, 2022, affecting 49% of Japanese businesses, which had procrastinated in updating their websites.If you were born in the 90s, you may be wondering where that browser is that you used for the first time to create HTML pages or browse the Internet. In May 2021, Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer would be retired in favor of Edge. With the release of Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 in 2015, Internet Explorer was deprecated for Windows. Internet Explorer 6 for Windows also fell out of favor for web usage due to feature bloat and frustratingly poor performance. Microsoft announced on Jthat Internet Explorer would no longer be supported on Macs. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.1 was the last version released for Mac OS X on July 11, 2003. Since 2012, Internet Explorer and Firefox had lost global market share to Chrome and Safari. After the conclusion of the 5 year period, Apple introduced their own Safari web browser in January 2003 to replace Internet Explorer on Mac OS X.
Though the joint announcement and Bill Gates' appearance on live video were met with shock, the investment from Microsoft helped save Apple from bankruptcy. In return, Microsoft agreed to continue developing software such as Microsoft Office for the Mac and make an investment of $150 million in Apple non-voting stock.
In August 1997, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs announced at Macworld Expo Boston that Internet Explorer would be included by default with future Mac OS releases for the next 5 years.
