(What You Need to Know)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After being the main entry to the internet in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Internet Explorer (IE) is gone. As of June 15, 2022, Microsoft dropped the web browser from support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IE ushered in the age of connection to the world in 1995 and held a majority of the browser market share for many years. But the release of newer technologies like Google Chrome made it less relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Internet Explorer still held about 59%<\/a> of the global market share, with Chrome at 21%. But just two years later, IE lost its top spot to Chrome and trailed behind another newcomer, Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, the writing was already on the wall when Microsoft released a new browser, Edge. With Edge destined to take IE\u2019s place as the official browser installed on Windows systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s inevitable, the longer technology is driving work and home life, that we\u2019re going to lose some of our favorites. Adobe Flash Player is another technology that used to be widely used and is now gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now that IE has reached its end of life (EOL), what happens next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Will Redirect Users to IE Mode in Edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft, now that IE is officially out of support it will redirect users. Over the next few months, a new experience will happen. Those opening this outdated browser will instead land in Microsoft Edge with IE mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ease the transition away from Internet Explorer, Microsoft added IE Mode<\/a> to Edge. This mode makes it possible for organizations to still use legacy sites that may have worked best in IE. It uses the Trident MSHTML engine from IE11 to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in IE mode, you\u2019ll still see the Internet Explorer icon on your device. But if you open it, you\u2019ll actually be in Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Will Be Removing Internet Explorer Icons in the Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft isn\u2019t yet getting rid of the IE icons that appear in places like the taskbar and Start menu on Windows. But it will in a future update. Users can expect to see those removed at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edge Will Import Browser Data from IE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What about your favorites, saved passwords, and other settings that you have in IE? Microsoft Edge will import these from Internet Explorer for you, so they’re not lost. This will include things like your browsing history and other data stored in the browser. You\u2019ll then be able to access these in the Microsoft Edge\u2019s settings area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With IE Retired, What Do You Need to Do Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Uninstall the Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s risky to keep older technology that is no longer supported on your system. Cybercriminals love to exploit older tools that are not receiving any security updates. This leaves an open invitation to breach your network. Manufacturers are never going to address these because they retired the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdated technology costs enterprises approximately 47% more when they suffer a data breach. As compared to those with updated tools.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should transition your stored information to Microsoft Edge (or another trusted browser). Then uninstall IE from your device or devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure Employees Know How to Use IE Mode in Edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A scenario that businesses want to avoid is what happened to many organizations in Japan. Several government and corporate users weren’t prepared for the retirement of IE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was reported<\/a> that IT and engineering departments received many calls for help. This was due to unpreparedness for the browser\u2019s demise. Although it came with warnings, it was a shock to many that used legacy sites that need IE to work. This included the customers of government agencies, financial institutions, and other organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This left them scrambling to try to figure out what to do at the last minute. They still needed access to employee attendance management, and other online tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, with IE mode in Edge, this transition didn\u2019t need to be so chaotic. But without communication or training, more than 20% of affected users hadn\u2019t figured out what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you communicate with your team what to do. Companies can automate IE mode<\/a> for their users so that it launches automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Train Employees on Microsoft Edge Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge has a lot of benefits over IE and other browsers. It\u2019s faster and more responsive than Internet Explorer. It also has comprehensive security controls (including password breach monitoring). And has unique features such as \u201ccollections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with all new tools, if you want employees to use them proficiently, they need to have a chance to learn them. Take the time to transition right, and have your employees trained on Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
