Η κάνει περαιτέρω βήματα για να σκοτώσει τον παλαιό Internet for the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser.

Microsoft recommends that users change the for years, yet it still has nearly a 5% market share in browser usage.

But soon Microsoft will take more active steps to cut off access to Internet Explorer.

An attempt to unhook Internet Explorer has already taken action, such as when Internet Explorer visits a site that is incompatible, Microsoft automatically opens Microsoft Edge and tries to continue browsing through it.

Η list of incompatible sites with Internet Explorer currently contains 1.156 websites, including , Facebook, Instagram, Google Drive, , ESPN, Yahoo Mail and many others.

This redirection is done through a Internet Explorer browser helper named “IEtoEdge BHO”, which is installed here: C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\[Edge_version]\BHO.

While browsing the web, BHO will check if a site is compatible with Internet Explorer. If not, BHO will automatically open the site in Microsoft Edge, which will display a message saying, "This site does not work with Internet Explorer!" as shown below.

At the same time, Microsoft Edge will also ask users to migrate Internet Explorer settings, data, and cookies to Microsoft Edge.

In addition to redirects, Microsoft also plans to turn off Internet Explorer support for various services offered by Microsoft.
