On May 16, Microsoft officially announced that IE browser would be officially retired on June 16, and then its functions would be taken over by edge browser. So far, the browser "overlord" born in 1995 has finally come to an end. Internet Explorer CNMO learned that the success of IE browser is inseparable from Windows 95. As the default browser of one of the most successful operating systems in Microsoft's history, ie was born in "Rome". Under the strong performance of Windows 95, ie, the default browser of the system, has successfully become the browser with the largest market share in the world in only three years. In 2003, its market share once reached 95%, which belongs to the golden age of IE browser. Internet Explorer Since then, with the development of the times and the changing needs of consumers, Microsoft's update of IE browser has not kept pace with the times. Gradually, this once excellent browser has been criticized. Users often roast about its single function, slow response, poor compatibility and so on. At the same time, Firefox, chrome, Safari and other faster and more secure browsers have come out one after another, taking away a large market share of IE browser with poor performance. Today, ie has become a browser that almost all computer users can't avoid, and even its market share was less than 2%. Microsoft chose to retire the veteran, perhaps to save its last face. Microsoft shifted its focus to edge browser, perhaps to return to its former "overlord" position in the market. However, the edge browser, which now has a market share of only 10%, still has a long way to go. (Xinhua News Agency)
