Internet Explorer End of Life (EOL) on Windows 10

Although not unexpected, Microsoft has officially announced the End of Life (EOL) for Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10.  Internet Explorer 11 will go out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10.   From The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge:

Note: This retirement does not affect in-market Windows 10 LTSC or Server Internet Explorer 11 desktop applications. It also does not affect the MSHTML (Trident) engine. For a full list of what is in scope for this announcement, and for other technical questions, please see our FAQ.
Edge legacy was replaced by Edge Chromium with the April 13, 2021 security updates.  With built-in IE Mode for websites built to work with Internet explorer, the new Edge makes Internet Explorer unnecessary.  IE Mode can be activated using the following simple steps:
  • In the address bar for Microsoft Edge, type edge://settings/defaultbrowser and then click Enter.
  • Slide the Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer toggle to ON.
  • Restart Microsoft Edge.
In addition to enhanced security and other improvements over Internet Explorer, the options for extensions available for Edge is almost endless.  If the extension you are seeking isn't available in Microsoft Edge Add-ons, you will most likely find what you are seeking in the Chrome Web Store.




Remember - "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
