IE
Internet Explorer (often abbreviated as IE) is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. The first version of Internet Explorer was released in 1995.
History[edit | edit source]
Internet Explorer was first released as part of the add-on package Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 in August 1995. The browser was then integrated into Windows 98. Over the years, Microsoft released various versions of the browser, with the last version, Internet Explorer 11, released in 2013.
Features[edit | edit source]
Internet Explorer introduced many features that have since become standard in other browsers. These include a Favorites bar, tabbed browsing, and an integrated search engine. It also supports HTML5, CSS3, and hardware acceleration.
Criticism and decline[edit | edit source]
Despite its popularity, Internet Explorer has been criticized for its security vulnerabilities and lack of compliance with web standards. This led to a decline in its usage, and the rise of competitors like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. In 2015, Microsoft announced Microsoft Edge, a new browser intended to replace Internet Explorer.
