In May 2021 Microsoft announced that it would be officially retiring Internet Explorer in favor of the Chromium based Microsoft Edge. Usage for the legacy browser had been very low over the past few years, although many websites have still maintained polyfills for the older browser. In fact a number of my clients have recently told me that supporting IE 11 is required by their business, and is still a consideration when adding new features to their sites. I’m sure that the official retirement of Internet Explorer will help numerous organizations embrace modern web features and move on from some expensive polyfills. The official retirement date is June 15, 2022.
