Ir never had support, it never really worked

IE was always garbage....I tried telling Bill, but he was just always so....stubborn!

RIP it was nice knowing all your Bugs 😂

I will never going to forget internet explorer RIP 😌

RIP IE you are my first browser.

Interesting. Tombstone appears to have Chinese/Japanese character on the left, but Post-It note messages all in Korean. IE always did have wonky East Asian Language support.

azureaditya I can't stop laughing after seeing this 🤣🤣

I hate to sound heartless, but that took about a decade or two longer than it should have. InternetExplorer

Respect, gonna miss you E

🙄🥺

Norrr, how else will i download my mods....

and open some sites that were way older and told you to go back to internet explorer to have them loaded properly.

RIP my dear friend 😢

i never got to really use internet explorer

One day ppl are going to cry when AI browsers retire.

Wasn't a good tool to download Internet Explorer. I once had to test something in IE 5.5 and there was some Windows NT CD I installed in a VM on Linux. It had IE 2.0. Couldn't download a current IE with it. Ended up downloading Netscape Navigator to download IE 5.5.

The obituary needs to read how he joins Bob and is survived by Clippy, the last remaining ancestor of his bloodline. ripIE

This is in South Korea. Why are you so afraid to put that in the tweet? “Someone” 🙄 🤦‍♂️ xenophobia

That looks expensive. So many other things that could have been bought.

“A good tool to download other browsers” 😂 🤣

Wait they were still supporting that? Wow

The browser handles things? Like websites that aren't designed to run on chrome? Change doesn't come easy here.
