Microsoft begins journey to discontinue Internet Explorer

New Delhi: Microsoft has taken further steps to end the support for its Internet Explorer as it pushes users to install the revamped Chromium-based Edge browser.

Now, when you visit an incompatible site in Internet Explorer which still has 5 per cent market share globally, the browsing session will automatically be directed to Microsoft Edge.

The redirection is being achieved via an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object (BHO).
