Can't they just take it behind the shed and put it out of its misery already.

#62Edge can't be automated via COM the same way IE could. I wonder what MS is offering as an upgrade path

#65My current employer will be devastated. The user interface of our currently in development program requires IE + Java applets.
I don't think IE will self-implode, you just won't get "support", whatever that means.

#66From a business standpoint, getting businesses who are dependent on IE 11 to adopt Edge is a great idea. This will certainly help Microsoft's browser share. On the other hand, A LOT of IE users do so because they are running version of Windows that themselves are no longer supported. I'm going to be very wary of what my grocery store's POS system is running on in about a year.

#67I was assigned a Trello task the other day to go ahead and put up a warning to IE users (until August). It was one of the most satisfying tasks I've ever received. I can't wait to go through the app with a machete and whack away all the sloppy IE compatibility code.
We relaunched a 12 year old SaaS app last month and dropped IE support. It was the most wonderful feeling to remove support for that dumpster fire out of the repos.

#68It is nice to see the long internet nightmare known as Internet Explorer come to a conclusion. What is the next thing we should wish to see die on the internet?
AMP and cookie pop-ups are top of my list.

#69That's a real end of an era. Internet Explorer's legacy engine is going to be relegated to old grayhair horror stories. Not unhappy it's going away, but it feels like a big chapter is closing.
relegated to old grayhair horror stories. The real shame of IE's passing is that we'll forget the lessons we learned and therefore repeat that particular disaster. It's already happening. I'd be happy to relegate the nightmare of IE to old war stories... except the same thing is happening today! Different method, nearly the same end result. We nearly lost the damn open web to the horror of IE6 and the peak "embrace,…
Chromium is open source…
Seems like a better approach in every way than the old mosaic/trident closed source mess.

#70FYI, You can send an email to Microsoft requesting the your website will automatically reopen in Edge when someone visits it with IE https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform...
TIL - this is cool!
Do you know if there's a way to see that XML list they mention anywhere publically? I can't find a link to it on that page.
I guess it should be possible to spin up IE11 in a VM on macOS and inspect the network, but would be nice to take a look and see which sites are on there.
