Developer's Description

While Internet Explorer played a significant role in the evolution of the web, its limitations and lack of updates make it unsuitable for modern browsing needs. Users should consider switching to a more secure and performant alternative.

  • Internet Explorer 11 is the final version and available on older Windows versions (8.1 and some server editions).
  • Microsoft Edge includes an “IE mode” for compatibility with legacy websites.
  • Transitioning away from IE may require adjustments for websites and applications built specifically for it.
