A software update to the Edge browser that began rolling out this week will permanently disable Internet Explorer 11 on any Windows computer that still has it installed. In an effort to scrape up the remains, Microsoft has now begun automatically removing instances of Internet Explorer from users’ computers. Microsoft officially murdered the beleaguered IE last year, though its ghostly presence still lingers on Windows PCs around the world. (While nearly everyone else has moved on to Google Chrome.) The 27-year-old browser has long been bogged down by performance and security problems, and Microsoft has fully moved on to its Edge browser. Microsoft's Internet Explorer deserved to die.
