Internet Explorer Has Been Retired , After Nearly 27 Years.

NBC News reports that as of June 15, Internet Explorer will no longer be supported by Microsoft.

The first version of the browser was launched in 1995.

The tech giant announced its intention to move away from Internet Explorer last year.

It is now encouraging users to try its Edge browser that was launched in 2015.

Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications.

, Sean Lyndersay, general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise, via a May 2021 blog post.

NBC News reports that in the early 2000s, Internet Explorer's market share was over 90%.

But many users complained that Internet Explorer was susceptible to hacks and crashed frequently.

As users turned to browser alternatives, its market share began to drop.

NBC News reports that Google's Chrome browser presently leads the pack with a 65% market share.

Apple's Safari holds 19% while Edge sits slightly ahead of Firefox with a 4% market share

He went on to suggest a $1 billion funding commitment and pledged to cover the remainder of whatever was not raised. Musk ultimately contributed $45 million to OpenAI's funding, and $90 million was raised through other donors, CNN reports. . He never fulfilled his promise to fund the rest, CNN reports. . We all understood we were going to need a lot more capital to succeed at our mission — billions of dollars per year, which was far more than any of us, especially Elon, thought we’d be able to raise as the non-profit, OpenAI, via blog post. In 2019, OpenAI became a for-profit entity and now has a $90 billion valuation. Microsoft has committed $13 billion to their cause.
