In a few months, it will no longer be possible to use Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10.
Microsoft plants the last nails in the coffin of the venerable web browser.
Microsoft forces the adoption of Edge
Internet Explorer is over since this summer. Well almost. Indeed, if an automatic redirection from Internet Explorer 11 to Microsoft Edge is in place, it is still possible to use IE under certain conditions (and with a certain motivation). But at the beginning of next year, this will no longer be possible on certain versions of Windows 10.
Microsoft intends to completely deactivate the browser from February 14 via the cumulative security update which will be deployed during this period. An optional update in January will allow those in a hurry to do it themselves.
Besides Windows 10, Internet Explorer still works with Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8.1, Server 2012 R2 and Server 2008 R2 (SP1). Remember that the end of support for the two OS for the general public, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, is fast approaching anyway.

- Stable, fast, easy to handle
- Secure environment (automatic and instant updates of the Chromium database)
- Promising upcoming features (Drop, Secure Network)
With this version of Edge built on Chromium, Microsoft has recovered from the Internet Explorer turmoil. Stable, secure and accessible to all, the browser combines intuitive handling and advanced features to offer a fluid and complete user experience. We also appreciate its very good integration with the Microsoft ecosystem (Windows, Office 365, OneDrive, Teams, etc.) thanks to the user account.
Despite its qualities, Edge, like Chrome which it hopes to one day dethrone, proves to be catastrophic in terms of privacy management. Because if we can welcome efforts to strengthen confidentiality (protection against tracking, reinforced security mode, SmartScreen), the browser is nonetheless a formidable tool for collecting personal information which, cross-checked with the data transmitted by other Microsoft services, make it possible to establish a detailed profile of Internet users, lucrative for the company as well as for advertisers.
