Microsoft is finally retiring the consumer version of Internet Explorer.

It announced the plan last year, making Internet Explorer 11 its final version.

Internet Explorer debuted on Windows desktop computers in 1995 and by 2004, had cornered 95% of the market.

But now, Google Chrome, Apple's Safari and Mozilla Firefox are dominant.

Users wanting to stick with Microsoft are being directed to Microsoft Edge, launched in 2015, alongside Windows 10.

I have been using all kinds of browsers over the years, still remember this Netscape one (interesting for paleontology :03:).
Lately mostly used Firefox, Chrome and Edge.

Stumbled about Brave a few days ago, lets you see YT vids without ANY advertising. Compatible with Chrome add-ons, can only advise to try this out ..
