Internet Explorer has been pronounced dead. Microsoft announced the 25-year-old browser will disappear from the web on August 17, 2021

The tech giant shared the news in a blog post, stating the Microsoft Teams web app will no longer support Internet Explorer 11, the latest version, beginning November 30, 2020. By next summer, none of Microsoft's remaining 365 app and services will connect to the browser. 
Following the deadlines, users of the dated browser will face a 'degraded experience,' except for sites that were specifically built by businesses for Internet Explorer.
The brand has struggled to shake off the bad reputation of Internet Explorer 6, which was notoriously insecure. Since then many of the versions have been discontinued due to flopping among the public
The firm is also pulling the plug on the older version of Edge March 9, 2021 to make way for the new browser. It will push the new Chromium-based Edge in updates for Windows users prior to ending the current version
