Time to say goodbye: Microsoft retires Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer will retire next year. Microsoft will permanently stop using the browser we have known since 1995 on June 15, 2022. The phase-out has already started in 2015 with the arrival of the new Microsoft Edge browser. What is the impact for you? Find out here.

What’s happening?

Support for Microsoft 365 and other apps will end as early as August 17, 2021, and then support will end completely by May 15, 2022. Microsoft wants to pave the way for Edge, which is faster, safer and more stable than Internet Explorer.

At this moment already, the use of the old browser is no longer recommended. As of next year, further use will therefore become even less safe. If not already the case, you should replace Internet Explorer with an up-to-date browser such as Edge or Chrome immediately. For companies that use certain specific functionalities, a “legacy mode” will still be available, until at least 2029.
