O Internet Explorer, Microsoft's browser closed 21 after it was first released on 16 August 1995.
Internet Explorer 1 was first released with the Windows 95 σαν μέρος του Internet Jumpstart Kit του Microsoft Plus. Αυτό που είναι ενδιαφέρον είναι ότι ο Internet Explorer 1 είχε αναπτυχθεί από μια ομάδα έξι προγραμματιστών.
Today Microsoft's browser reaches version 11, and is no longer a top priority for the company, which is involved in the development of the new Edge browser application.
The development of Microsoft Edge was essential mainly because a company must compete with other market browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, which Internet Explorer could not do.
Internet Explorer will no longer have new versions, features, and improvements, but Microsoft will continue to repair the new vulnerabilities that are presented and all security issues.
So obviously, the stake market του Internet Εxplorer θα μειώνεται γρήγορα, και οι στατιστικές δείχνουν τον Google Chrome αδιαφιλονίκητο ηγέτη στον κόσμο των browsers with a market share exceeding 50 percent.
