The second war, which lasted from 2005 to 2015, involved several browsers, including Opera, Firefox and others. Although in 1995 Netscape Navigator had about 80% of the market, and Internet Explorer only about 5%, by the end of the war Internet Explorer had won with about 96% of the market. The first Browser War took place between 19, with Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer 'fighting' for market share. And was soon embroiled in the so-called Browser War – a battle of browser manufacturers for dominance. The first version of Internet Explorer 1 was released August 16, 1995. A little later Netscape Navigator also appeared – and achieved a certain success, which apparently prompted Microsoft to create its own browser.

The first browser with a GUI that became widespread was the NCSA Mosaic, development of which began in 1992. The very first browser was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1990: it was called WorldWideWeb and later renamed Nexus.

However, the browser likely won't last long on those systems either, as Microsoft plans to end extended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 on Jan. Internet Explorer 11 will likely still be supported on some enterprise Windows 7 systems, Windows 8.1, enterprise versions of Windows 10 LTSC, and Windows 10 IoT for some time. Will Internet Explorer be supported on older systems? People who are still using Internet Explorer are recommended to switch to Edge before disabling this browser and remove all shortcuts and other links to Internet Explorer to avoid system errors. The date of 'death' of Internet Explorer browser is already known: February 14, 2023, Microsoft will disable it on computers with the Windows 10 operating system.Īccording to the portal XDA, Microsoft previously said that Internet Explorer will be turned off through a Windows update, but now it is known that the old browser will 'die' after the update of Microsoft Edge, which, according to company representatives, will ease the transition of users to the new browser.
