It was originally announced back in August 2014 (EDIT: which I have just notice the linked article above does say)

Well I missed that.I wonder how many others did as well.

IE8 is tied to XP, which went out of support in April 2014, so is not surprising IE8 is also going out of support

IE9 is tied to Vista which goes out of support in April next year, but Vista's market share is pretty low

IE10 is an older version of IE for both Window 7 and Windows 8/8.1 - both those versions of Windows can update to IE11 which is still supported.

Surely though the ultimate is to get everyone onto Edge..which I dislike because I can't use adblock on it.

Re: Microsoft is pulling the plug on Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
 

Edge is only available on Windows 10, so will require more than just a browser update for those still on Windows 7 or 8/8.1 for whatever reason (for instances business installs)

Also there is no easy upgrade path for customers on XP or Vista to Windows 10.

Firefox?

+1

The correct solution.:)

They are adding the ability to use extensions for Edge soon, of what i read they miss just be Chrome extensions updated to use the msBrowser name instead of Chrome

I upgraded to Firefox years ago.

I only use IE for one site now as it [currently] still needs ActiveX.

Re: Microsoft is pulling the plug on Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
 

I stopped using IE from ver 8 or 9, now use Chrome & occasionally Firefox

Re: Microsoft is pulling the plug on Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
 

I only use IE to download firefox when i reload my PC from time to time

Re: Microsoft is pulling the plug on Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
 

Oh I use Chrome BUT I'm not the only user on this PC..Himself can't use anything but IE and is complaining bitterly about Edge..but he is using it because my resident IT expert says we are NOT to download IE 11..

I was just giving a heads up to those who hadn't realised about the latest from MS.

Re: Microsoft is pulling the plug on Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
 

If you have access to Edge, that the IE version on the PC will be IE11, as that's the only version of IE in Windows 10?

Or am I missing something?

Firefox here for many years though I do have chrome and IE installed they are just used to check out web templates
