Microsoft will be retiring Internet Explorer next year to focus the spotlight on its new web browser, Microsoft Edge. 

This move comes as the final nail in the coffin for the infamously slow Internet Explorer, which Microsoft has been slowly phasing out.

Explorer is unique in its ability to access websites and applications built on technology too old and obsolete to be supported by modern browsers. However, once the Explorer phase-out is complete, this feature will become available on Microsoft Edge.
