Chromium-based Edge, Microsoft has planned to end its support for Internet Explorer 11 across Microsoft 365 apps from next year. The services will start dropping the support for IE 11. In exactly a year, that is August 17th, 2021, Internet Explorer 11 will no longer support online services. The online services include Office 365, OneDrive, Outlook, and more. Microsoft is in plans to end the support for IE11 with Teams. The support will end on November 30th for Teams that came later this year.
This will definitely take some time to poke enterprise users of Internet Explorer 11 away. Microsoft hopes that the new explorer legacy mode that is Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser will help. Meaning, Microsoft Edge will help maintain the legacy.
This will proceed to help the businesses access old locations and sites that were precisely built for Internet Explorer. This will follow until Microsoft completely declines to back for Internet Explorer 11 within Windows 10. This move of Microsoft to stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 with the main properties is actually a good step.
Legacy Edge will bid farewell next march
Alongside the support, Microsoft is planning to drop the support for the already existing versions of Edge on 9th March 2021. After the end of the backing date, the legacy version of Edge will not receive security and safety updates.
Microsoft wants to move its already existing users of Windows 10 to its new Chromium-based Edge browser.
According to the company, the new devices and future Windows updates will all comprise the new Edge browser.
Microsoft has been working for a long time to kill off the internet explorer. The company introduced the Edge browser in 2015.
It was the outset of the end of the Internet Explorer brand. Microsoft has tagged Internet Explorer as a “compatibility solution”, since then, rather than a browser. It has encouraged industries to stop using the old browser.
