IE 6

Internet Explorer 6 (IE 6) is a web browser developed by Microsoft, released in 2001. It was part of the Windows XP operating system and became widely used for accessing the internet. While it played a significant role in popularizing web browsing, IE 6 was eventually criticized for its outdated features, security vulnerabilities, and lack of support for modern web standards. As technology advanced, newer browsers gained popularity, leading to a decline in IE 6 usage. Microsoft officially ended support for IE 6, encouraging users to transition to more secure and efficient browsers.
