After 27 years, Microsoft has decided to retire Internet Explorer, one of its most popular browsers.

When Bill Gates chose to include Internet Explorer with Windows in 1995, it was the first browser to be published.

Internet Explorer will be retired on Wednesday, June 15, according to the firm, and users who try to use it will be referred to Microsoft Edge, the company's most recent browser.

"We needed to change, but we didn't want to abandon stable, still-working websites and services." "We're here to assist you migrate to Microsoft Edge's more complete browsing experience and explain why we believe it will meet your requirements at home and at business," they added in a statement.

Although Microsoft Edge was debuted in 2015 and has steadily phased out Internet Explorer, it still competes with Google Chrome, which is installed on most mobile operating systems.
