Microsoft is ending support for Internet Explorer mode in Edge
Microsoft will support IE mode in Edge through at least 2029 and is urging companies with legacy apps to begin migrating now.
Microsoft has announced that Internet Explorer mode in its Edge browser will be supported until the end of 2029. This compatibility feature, which allows Edge to run IE's rendering engine, was first flagged for retirement in 2021. Microsoft is giving IT administrators time to plan for the transition as the mode will be supported through at least the end of 2029, according to a message in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Organizations with no IE dependencies do not need to take any action, but those still relying on IE mode should identify what depends on it and start updating or replacing it. The standalone Internet Explorer 11 browser was officially retired in June 2022, 26 years after it was first shipped with early Windows versions. IE now holds less than 1 percent of the browser market, according to StatCounter data.
