Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is one of the oldest web browsers and the one that most millennials started their web journey with. Unfortunately, Microsoft has dropped support for the longest-standing default browser on every new Chromium-based operating system, the new Microsoft Edge. But why did Microsoft stop supporting Internet Explorer and what are your alternatives? Let’s find out!

Internet Explorer is dead for a number of reasons. Let’s take a look at them.

Microsoft has decided to stop supporting IE 11 in Office 365 and other Microsoft apps, which is the last and most recent update to the legacy browser. This means that your Office 365 apps will no longer work with the browser, and other services, such as the Microsoft Teams web app, will also no longer support the browser.

Microsoft has been developing its Chromium-based alternative, Edge, for a while now. The browser has gotten significantly better over the years, and this is another way Microsoft is encouraging people to switch to their new and supported browser.
