Summary

Internet Explorer, once a dominant browser due to its integration with Windows, has become largely obsolete due to its inability to keep up with modern web standards and features. Despite still being installed by default on some Windows 10 systems, it is widely disliked and unsupported by major websites such as YouTube, GitHub, and Apple. This sentiment is shared by developers who struggle with IE's lack of support for modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS features, leading to performance issues and security vulnerabilities. Microsoft officially replaced IE with Edge in 2015, which is built on a more modern and efficient Chromium engine. The continued use of IE is seen as a hindrance to progress, and many developers and companies have moved on to more advanced browsers that offer better performance, security, and support for the latest web technologies.
