Last August, the popular multi-tech company Microsoft announced that it would gradually discontinue Internet Explorer 11 services. This process will start from November this year and will be completed by August 2021 next year.
According to reports, the company has already started preparations for this big
step.
Microsoft is considering moving Internet Explorer 11- or IE
11 users from this web browser to the latest version of the Chromium
Engine-based Edge browser, according to a report released today by Billiping Computer. To
attract users, Microsoft launched this version of the 'Microsoft Edge' browser
earlier this year, which is the default browser on all Windows 10 operating
systems and displays results from sites that are not compatible with IE 11.
Users, after being redirected to Microsoft Edge, will be
explained the reason for this redirection through a one-time dialog
box. It will prompt them to import browsing data, including details such
as passwords, search engines, open tabs, settings, cookies and home pages. However,
users can continue their sessions in the Edge web browser even if they do not
agree to this import option.
Microsoft said on their support page, "When a site is
redirected from Internet Explorer to the Microsoft Edge browser, the website
will appear closed in Internet Explorer." There will also be a
Microsoft support page that will explain why you are being redirected.”
In addition, Microsoft is expected to launch a new Group
Policy template. This new group policy will help users control the redirection
process. These policies will be available through the ADMX file update
from today and will be accessible until the 9th of next month.
