Microsoft is officially ending support for its iconic web browser, Internet Explorer, today – 15 June, 2022.
Internet Explorer, also known as IE or MSIE, was first released in 1995 as part of an add-on package for Windows 95 – the first Windows with the infamous"start" button. From 1995 to 2013, the multibillion-dollar software company released 11 versions of its web-browsing software – for many in the world it was the first introduction to the world wide web.AljazeeraFor most of the early 2000s, Internet Explorer was the most widely used web browser, reaching a peak of about 95% market share by 2003.
One of the reasons for Internet Explorer’s epic rise was that it was the default web browser in Microsoft’s Windows operating system, allowing it to win the first browser war against rival Netscape Navigator.Internet Explorer’s market share fell below 50% in 2010, and in 2012, Google Chrome overtook Internet Explorer as the world’s most used web browser.
