After a long span of more than two decades, technology giant, Microsoft is ready to retire its web browser- Internet Explorer. As per reports, most consumers have not used the senescent web browser for years.

The tech giant has decided that it will not support Internet Explorer from June 15, 2022. It further announced that Microsoft Edge is the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10. The company will retire the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application for certain versions of Windows 10 on June 15, 2022.
