Microsoft Internet Explorer

Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is a web browser developed by Microsoft, first released in 1995. It allows users to access and navigate the internet, view websites, and download content. Once the most widely used browser, it played a significant role in shaping the early web experience. However, it faced criticism for security issues and compatibility problems over time. Microsoft officially discontinued Internet Explorer in 2022, replacing it with Microsoft Edge, which offers updated features and better performance, reflecting modern web standards and user needs.
