Microsoft finally disables Internet Explorer after almost 28 years of service

You may have heard of Internet Explorer's end of support date in June of last year, but on Tuesday Microsoft had finally had enough and KILLED Internet Explorer, as in forcibly removed it from all Windows 10 PCs, according to Ars Technica. They didn't remove it from Windows 11, since it was never there to begin with.

Okay, okay, they didn't ACTUALLY have IE uninstall itself, despite what it sounds like, but rather a new Microsoft Edge update made IE automatically redirect to Edge. Microsoft also noted that "certain versions of Windows 10" will get the new update, according to CNET.

The reason this is such a monumental event for the ol' IE is that just 20 years ago, in 2003, the situation was just the opposite, with the browser's market share being 95%, according to CNET. Oh, how ye old days are gone!
