With something built to support the landscape back then, you’re sacrificing speed and more. Think about how different the internet is now. Internet Explorer 11 was launched in 2013. Let’s be honest – the user experience with Internet Explorer leaves a lot to be desired. By August 2021, support for all O365 apps for IE will be gone. On the current roadmap, Teams will be the first one to stop working with Internet Explorer. Beginning in November of 2020, Microsoft will be reducing the Microsoft 365 applications will support using IE. This doesn’t mean it won’t lose other support.įor example, Microsoft announced a plan to remove support for O365 applications. Microsoft has stated that IE will continue receiving “levels” of support until Windows 10 is expired. Microsoft has chosen to bet on Edge rather than IE and has announced an end to critical support for the aging browser in the near future. Significant gaps between new releases and version updates led to other browsers taking over and becoming preferred. Internet Explorer has been slow to innovate over the years. Security issues, vulnerabilities have often plagued Internet Explorer. Vulnerabilities are easier to exploit when aging technologies no longer have support and investment in them. Microsoft has already patched the majority of these…but it’s happening more and more. Several new zero-day vulnerabilities have recently exploited issues within Internet Explorer. Vulnerabilities and a lack of support aren’t the only things that should concern you about Internet Explorer – there are plenty of reasons you should think twice before using IE. We’ve been saying it for years – but now Microsoft is too. In this blog, we’ll share the top 5 reasons to stop using Internet Explorer.
