Microsoft has indicated within the last year that it would eventually burn Internet Explorer for good. Last August, the company said Microsoft 365 would drop support for Internet Explorer by August 17, 2021. A couple of months later, users found that IE would redirect some websites to Microsoft Edge because of compatibility issues.
Microsoft Edge Group Program Manager Sean Lyndersay confirmed the company’s stance in a Wednesday blog post, stating, “Over the last year, you may have noticed our movement away from Internet Explorer (“IE”) support. Today, we are at the next stage of that journey: we are announcing that the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge.”
