Just note that Microsoft 365 apps and services won't work with Edge's Internet Explorer mode after August 17, 2021. The Internet Explorer mode lets you seamlessly access a legacy IE app in one tab while browsing the rest of the modern web in other tabs. IE 11 will continue to function, but Microsoft encourages users to migrate to the new Microsoft Edge which features an Internet Explorer mode to maintain compatibility. Microsoft has limited the support for both products and recommends transitioning to the new Microsoft Edge browser. We believe that Microsoft 365 subscribers, in both consumer and commercial contexts, will be well served with this change through faster and more responsive web access to greater sets of features in everyday toolsets like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and more.īecause many businesses still rely on legacy IE 11 apps, Microsoft isn't fully pulling the plug on the browser just yet. Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge Legacy (EdgeHTML) are legacy products, which do not fulfil the requirements of a modern browser regarding features, security, performance, etc. Since then, open web standards and newer browsers-like the new Microsoft Edge-have enabled better, more innovative online experiences. All users on the latest stable Windows 10 releases should have already received the new Chromium-based Edge browser.Ĭustomers have been using IE 11 since 2013 when the online environment was much less sophisticated than the landscape today. Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge Legacy will reach its end of life on March 9, 2021, and will receive no security updates after that.
