It's the end of an era. For many years Internet Explorer was the benchmark program for accessing Internet content, but its decline has been gradual and fewer and fewer users connect through it. Microsoft does not renounce, however, having its own browser.
"The future of Internet Explorer in Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge", says the company in the statement announcing the final goodbye of the tool. The one that begins is the »next stage« of a journey undertaken long ago by the firm created by the now billionaire Bill Gates.
"Microsoft Edge is not only a faster, safer and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it can also address a key concern: compatibility with older and legacy websites and applications," he details.
