Internet Explorer was already dead, but now it's even deader. For most users, a new Microsoft Edge update will disable the browser on their computer permanently.

According to The Verge, Microsoft officially sunsetted Internet Explorer 11 support in June 2022, making the chromium-powered Microsoft Edge the only officially supported browser. Some versions of Windows 10 will continue to allow usage of IE, such as the Windows 10 China Government Edition and Microsoft's Long-Term Servicing Channel for Windows 10. However, for the vast majority of users, Internet Explorer will no longer be available.

The tech that powers IE will still work, as MSHTML and Trident engine will remain supported. MSHTML even enables Internet Explorer Mode in Microsoft Edge. Microsoft has promised that this mode will remain supported until at least 2029.
