We will not miss:
Microsoft mentioned in a statement released over the weekend that it will finally eliminate the Internet Explorer browser, which will celebrate its 27th birthday this year, and will finally stop supporting it on June 15 in versions of Windows 10 and above.
This means that from the same date the browser will no longer support the operating system, and as soon as a user clicks on the Internet Explorer icon, Microsoft's new browser will be launched - Edge based on Google's Chromium engine - which will run in compatibility mode and integrate Explorer behind the scenes.

Microsoft encourages users and organizations to switch to a new browser, but to give those who still rely on Explorer time to make the transition in the best way, compatibility will remain in the operating system for 7 years - until January 9, 2029, in selected versions of Windows.
On August 17, 2021, the old browser also stopped supporting the Microsoft 365 service, and in November of that year, support for Microsoft Teams was also discontinued.
Alongside this, Microsoft has announced that it will not release any more updates.
