So Microsoft finally has guts to end support for Internet Explorer (on June 15, 2022).

Most people probably wonder who still uses IE. In fact a lot of corporate software still does. Even though almost all products now support mainstream browsers well you can still find occasional "IE only" admin interface or older version which is still in use. You can probably even find some "IE only" parts on some older websites.

All this happened because of unprecedented dominance #IE had on browser market many years ago. It was the most popular browser, all websites optimized for it, software relied on IE to work, there was a lot of IE specific scripting... Many other web browsers were in fact same IE, just wrapped in different skin and with extra bells. Then it started to fade away and left us (mainly tech support and admins) in the mess and countless computers vulnerable. It literally took almost decade to get rid of it after it became a failure.

This is exactly what happens with #Chrome now.
