  The first time I saw the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop, I was about 10 years old. I recall it as if it was yesterday, because I remember complaining to my father, “I don't want to just *explore* the internet. I want to see the whole thing.” 🤦

  That's great, but what about IE integration in Office and all those other places where IE is integrated via ieframe.dll? https://twitter.com/...

  I won't miss Internet Explorer much when it's retired next year. After all, it is a hot mess of security problems. But it was my first browser — as it was for many who grew up on the internet in our teens and twenties — and those memories are golden. https://techcrunch.com/...

  Bye bye cash cow. MSIE got my professional career in security started and helped me keep my family well fed for two decades. But it was designed for a different world than we live in now and we will all be more secure without it. It's a bittersweet goodbye. https://twitter.com/..…

  IE Enterprise Compatibility Mode really is fantastic. I've been administering it for like 10 years now. They literally went line by line through all changes since IE6 and created a fantastic compatibility layer. This is not really a problem I've used it on crazy old stuff. https:…
