๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Microsoft sends Internet Explorer to tech's scrapheap

ฯฯััฮฑ gะฝฯัั
mine hasn't been working lately anyway.

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
now we know why!

ฯฯััฮฑ gะฝฯัั
I wondered

OwlsNotAsThySem
I haven't used mine in years...

ฯฯััฮฑ gะฝฯัั
because I used the troubleshooter and followed the instructions I got when I searched for an answer and it still didn't work

ฯฯััฮฑ gะฝฯัั
I only used it when Firefox stopped saving photos and I thought a different browser would help.

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
It sounds like every browswer but chrome is dyin

I feel really bad for the people who worked on IEs8-11.

resisting li
Because improving IE was such a thankless task.

resisting li
no one ever appreciated it!

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
esp since ie 11 people had to knw

resisting li
yeah. :\

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
it was pointless, because OPERATION SPARTAN or w/e is coming

resisting li
This article is either really simplified or was written by someone who doesn't actually know what the browser wars were like tho

resisting li
"Yet, despite Microsoft's considerable might, Explorer never managed to win the hearts and minds of consumers, who in recent years defected in droves to a new wave of sleeker browsers."

resisting li
nah man IE dominated for a long time. Netscape vs IE was a long brutal fight with lots of IE fans because of features like colored scroll bars.

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
It is usatoday

resisting li
IE's brand died when Microsoft kept it at IE6 for like a decade. X3

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
who apparently thinks that like

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
ie will cease to exists because they don't update it anymore

resisting li
X3

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
but....people'll still use it

resisting li
yeah sadly not the case.

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
fuck, my bank still uses windows xp

resisting li
I still need to support IE8 because it's still in the top ten browsers people use for our website at work.

resisting li
We dropped IE7 support last year. Very quietly. I was still trying to code CSS to support it. XD I hope they'll tell me when I can stop tying into pretzels for IE8.

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
/crosses fingers

resisting li
but yeah, no more new IEs isn't going to make people running XP and Windows Vista and Windows 7 and even Windows 8 just stop using the browser overnight.
