This doesn't affect anyone, I just wanted to mark the occasion, because in the early years of this site's life, it was just the worst. Everyone used it, it implemented every standard in a different way, and it didn't support anything new or useful. Bye bye IE, I always hated you.

I always called it Internet Exploder because for quite a while there was a simple script that would bring down the whole browser.

Edge works pretty poorly with Discord in my experience.

RIP IE

I used this browser for years when I first started using the computer, and had a million malware toolbars installed to it to get game rewards.
Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here

Not just that: I have not forgotten the drive-by installations of adware and spyware that plagued the browser. I remember that at the time of IE6’s peak, Lavasoft Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy were popular because of how serious the problem was.

Actually, the Discord site works perfectly fine on Chrome, or at least for me anyways.

I never touched Internet Explorer in the few years I've been online. Downloading Chrome was the only use it ever had for me.

I can access Discord just fine on Chrome. I don't know why your Discord isn't working too well on your Chrome, but you might wanna see if your copy of Chrome is bugged or something.

So does Edge; for example, it's currently been freezing for about an hour over five tabs here.

I've been using Chrome since day one, but considering how they're about to fuck adblockers, I think I'll be switching back to Firefox soon.

Bye IE! I always hated how you used to be so blatantly forced down my throat when even Chrome 1 was waaay better.

Well, finally I can get rid of all IE specific hacky code from the websites I run and just tell people that no, I don't support Internet Explorer and I don't care about fixing IE issues anymore.

I use Chrome as my default browser, but for this particular nation, I switched to Firefox after becoming a GM for reasons that involve a quadrotor drone, three mice, and a detailed formula for mass summoning.

As for IE: GGWPEZNORE.
