As the title Microsoft leaving internet explorer, The legendary browser Internet Explorer in its time, with a history of up to 19 years is finally leaving the world for ever. Which is going to being replaced by Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft is set to release the new browser with the announcement of Windows 10. Then anyone can install the browser on their laptops, smartphones and PCs. Though Edge is replacement of Internet Explorer, but that doesn’t been IE is going to be out entirely. It will be available for backwards compatibility and same goes for Microsoft Edge.
