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.

He was a ~~good~~ tool to download other browsers /j

I haven't used windows in ages so no IE/edge, but honestly I'd take internet explorer I think x3

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 14 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Edge is actually a pretty ok browser now

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It was, before they added ai to every feature

I'm SO sick of hearing about AI when Google maps can't even direct me via voice. Or play the right songs.

Fix the basic shit before trying all this other bullshit.

google maps gives voice directions. i use it on my bicycle

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I know, but half the time it's wrong. Ive tagged and labeled common destinations, and can give very specific locations including the street name like "take me to Target on Dyer Ave" and... Now were going to chucky cheese...

it sounds like google knows you need some fun and bad pizza

Having troubleshooted windows PCs for family.. that's debatable lol

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

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 7 points 5 days ago

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

Edge is just chrome but better.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Couldn't find the Firefox version.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (3 children)

What do You mean "was"? Don't we still use it for that?

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.

According to @rtxn@lemmy.world:

It gets better. PowerShell 5, which is still the default installation on Windows 11, aliases `curl` and `wget` to `Invoke-WebRequest`. The fucked-up part is that Win11 includes the real `curl` too, but the alias shadows it, and you have to use `curl.exe`. The even more fucked-up part is that `Invoke-WebRequest` **still uses Internet Explorer** to parse the result, and will panic if `-UseBasicParsing` is not passed every time, or IE isn't installed and initialized. I used to develop applications in PowerShell. I still wear the mental scars.

Oh man I'm still dreading the day that the backwards operated stuff in SAP GUI, made possible because of the IE engine, suddenly lose support.

I'm looking at you adobe interactive forms.

That shit is gonna cost thousands of dollars to migrate.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Hmmm... wait a minute I have nightmares about this one - JDE

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

It’s 2025, old man. You can just do winget install firefox now.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 days ago

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?
