Microsoft Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer (or IE) was a free, graphical web browser maintained by Microsoft for legacy enterprise uses. Microsoft Edge is currently the default Windows browser.
Microsoft first bundled IE with Windows in 1995 as part of the package called "Microsoft Plus!". By around 2002, Internet Explorer had become the most used browser in the world, but lost ground to Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
IE went through many releases and provided versions for desktop, mobile, and Xbox Console. It was also available on Mac and UNIX; Microsoft discontinued those versions in 2003 and 2001, respectively. The final Windows release was version 11.0.220 on November 10, 2020.
Microsoft ended support for IE on June 15, 2022.
