Microsoft.If you try to open Internet Explorer (IE11) on your desktop from midnight tonight, you'll no longer be able to access it.

Instead, you'll be redirected to Microsoft's newer browser, Microsoft Edge.Internet Explorer users are now being urged to save any bookmarks and export passwords to an alternative browser so they don't lose access to their key logins and favourite webpages in future.Sean Lyndersay, Microsoft Edge program manager, told Mashable: "The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 lies in Microsoft Edge."Not only is Microsoft Edge a quicker, more secure, and more contemporary browsing experience than Internet explorer, but it also addresses a crucial concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications."While Edge comes pre-installed on most Windows PCs, it's very easy to install a different browser, and there are lots to choose from:For years, Internet Explorer remained the default browser for many, and some stubborn Windows users have still clung to the ancient app.First launched in 1995 as an add-on for Windows 95, Internet Explorer was included for free with future versions of Windows.At one point, it had 95% of the browser market worldwide in 2003, but its usage gradually declined as competition such as Google Chrome and Firefox were released and grew in popularity..
