How ‘math’ and ‘time’ made Google ditch Microsoft’s browser

Microsoft has already called time on the once-popular internet browser Internet Explorer. Come June 15, 2022 and Internet Explorer will be removed from all versions of Windows 10. In fact, it was a surprise that Microsoft was still shipping Explorer in some form or the other.

Google has gone one step further than Microsoft and has announced that it is pulling the plug on Internet Explorer. According to a report by 9to5Google, “Google has confirmed that Internet Explorer 11 is no longer officially supported by the search engine.” The official reason given is that Internet Explorer makes up only a very small percentage of searches worldwide.
