A year ago, the company announced its intention to retire the application, and starting today, June 18, it will stop supporting the 27-year old era defining browser. Microsoft will direct users to its Edge Browser that launched in 2015, according to AP.  To help with the transition, Microsoft has provided tips and guides to help users adjust to Edge.  The company is also migrating user data-such as passwords, favorites, history and cookies over to Edge.  Internet Explorer will be permanently disabled in a future update and delete the icon from users' devices.
