Thank you for teaching me how to deal with my anger.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When setting up a new computer, Explorer, as the default browser on Windows, was frequently used simply to download rival browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Twitter user joked, &#8220;RIP to the #1 Chrome installer of all time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Thank you for assisting me in downloading Chrome,&#8221; said another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explorer was the most popular web browser during its heyday in the 1990s and 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, due to widespread performance issues, it has become the target of numerous online jokes over the last decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its reputation, according to report, Explorer is still used by 0.65% of web users worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chrome and Apple&#8217;s Safari, with market shares of 64.95 percent and 19.01 percent, respectively, dwarf this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the release of Edge in 2015, Microsoft attempted to move away from its ageing browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Microsoft Edge is the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10,&#8221; the company stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 26 years, MICROSOFT is retiring Internet Explorer today, and netizens are paying their
