IE is retiring, after many years of cursing, I have seen less and less support tickets for IE and I'm glad to say that things have become a lot better. I'm not having a party like I had promised myself, IE died with a whimper not a roar.
For details of exact dates, please consult your hand held Google manual.

Now, if we could just get webkit to go the same way...
Actually, as someone who battled with Netscape 2, 3 and 4, IMHO, history will look kinder on IE than the web devs of today do. Its contribution to the making of the web we have today should not be underestimated. I shan't regret its leaving of the stage, but we should nevertheless give it due respect for what it achieved.
Indeed it was groundbreaking as much as it did break the ground
Agreed, IE 5.2 was the best browser on Mac for years.
And who can ignore the addition on
.innerHTML()
innerHTML is terrible!

12 minutes to go!!
It's gone! It's finally gone π€£
Not using it maybe 10 years already.. long ago it was dead
Not in my nightmares it's not
R.I.P it's time to go π₯³
Now ie: apple iOS safari <= 11 version
Yes... Ever the oddball Safari, compliant in some areas, bleeding edge in some and mysteriously buggy in the rest
Let me say, I suppose the use of IE for last years was some sort of "masochism". Moreover it was replaced by Edge by MS so there was no reason why to continue with this without support or any future. Anyway we should respect it because after Netscape this was our most important software for years.
I won't miss IE - it was a nightmare for me when it came to web development.
How do I download other browsers now?π₯
Curl like the rest of the world π
Yeah
