Microsoft said it is retiring Internet Explorer,

Oh, Has Internet Explorer been caught fooling around with the help?

Will it want a divorce settlement?

Will the new browser be compatible with my Windows 98 machine? I sure hope so as I really can’t afford to upgrade to Windows Me.

Edge is being asked for child support payments to end to IE.

I recently went with Win10 staying with the Brave browser but MS sure is pushing Edge.

"I still fondly remember how I used it to download Chrome on every new Windows system,"

That made me laugh.

LOL. They lost an anti-trust suit over it 25 or so years ago, and now they discontinue it.

Now if only the DOJ would go after Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook and ATT. Maybe a few others. Absolutely predatory, anti-competitive companies. So is Starbucks fwiw and imho, but they have already pretty much won. Still, wouldn’t mind at all if they broke them up too.

Bu-By!

Never use it, use Microsoft Edge even LESS!

Brave & Chrome.
