30 Of The Internet’s Funniest Reactions To Internet Explorer’s Shutdown
So long, Internet Explorer, you shall be missed! Thanks for being a part of our first digital memories. For being the perfect tool for downloading other browsers. And, most importantly, for teaching us what patience really is. We hope you’ll find peace among fax machines, BlackBerry phones, and other technologies that have simply lost their relevance.
Microsoft has announced it’s pulling the plug on its once-dominant legacy browser close to 27 years after it launched and blessed our computers in 1995. As of Wednesday, the desktop app will no longer be supported, and users will be redirected to Microsoft’s Edge browser, which was launched in 2015, instead.
While millions of web surfers loved to hate this enduring yet much-trolled browser (with a very few still claiming to admire it), IE’s passing was not a surprise. But as people learned the original web browser that started it all has "stopped working" for real this time, they had plenty to say. To mark the end of an era, netizens are pouring one out and sharing some of the most hilarious memes and jokes online. So continue scrolling, upvote the ones that made you laugh, and be sure to tell us your own take about IE’s journey and how it’s coming to an end in the comments below!

That makes wonder, will this twitter account exist after the 15th, and if so when will it learn about its demise?

Where I work, they forced the switch from IE to Edge already, and it broke so many internal web apps. Frankly, this is why IE needed to die.

Respect to this dude for acknowledging FF instead of just the privacy nightmare that is Chrome.

Damn LilyandPearl, makes me feel old 😂 I used it for Neopets in 2000, that site still runs and is barely keeping up with its flash conversions
