I’ve written about the death of Internet Explorer before over on CSS Tricks and A List Apart, perhaps... Tagged with webdev, css, javascript.

Internet Explorer 11 will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022. Popular JavaScript frameworks have already dropped support, including Vue 3 and Preact 11. The list of companies that have dropped support is growing by the day, and includes Adobe, Dailymotion, Skillshare, LinkedIn, Twitter, SAP, among many others.

Internet Explorer finally dies

Rest in Peace ✌, You served Chrome well :)

This is the first time I’m happy about someone/something dying :)

Better late than never! I’m certainly not gonna miss it. Only if legacy systems that still rely on it could be easily replaced!

What’s interesting is that you can still run (Win+R) iexplore.exe, which now opens msedge. You can even use IE command line switches like -private, it will open a private msedge window.
