A memorial plaque for Internet Explorer, styled like a gravestone. It features the browser’s logo at the top, followed by the inscription: “故 Internet Explorer 1995. 8. 17 ~ 2022. 6. 15. He was a good tool to download other browsers.” The plaque rests on a stone surface surrounded by small tribute notes, including references to other browsers like Firefox.
A good tool?

What do You mean “was”? Don’t we still use it for that?

Are you on Windows XP?

Fun fact, IE is still on windows 11, and it can be used though not through normal means. To any C#/.NET devs out there, on winforms the “browser” control is IE, and is still supported. Additionally some programs (like my company’s ERP) still can and do launch full standalone IE under certain situations.

if you’re going out of your way to use explorer instead of edge to download the browser you actually want… what are you doing?

There were many times I couldn’t even trust IE to download a different and had a FireFox installer on a USB drive.

Tbf the one time I had to launch edge on someone else’s pc it just prompted me to mane an account with no way to close out of the window, so not much better there x3
Which is to say… the firefox usb stick is a real life saver either way when needing to touch windows
