Microsoft really wants you to stop using Internet Explorer
2020-11-30 10:54

Today, Microsoft is taking further steps to kill off Internet Explorer in Windows 10 by removing support for Microsoft Teams.

As part of this plan, Microsoft is no longer supporting Microsoft Teams in Internet Explorer starting on November 30th, 2020.

While users can click on the 'Keep using Internet Explorer,' Microsoft makes no guarantee that Microsoft Teams will work correctly in the unsupported browser.

In addition to Teams, Microsoft quietly installed an 'IEtoEdge' Internet Explorer browser helper object in October that automatically redirects incompatible sites to Microsoft edge.

Microsoft has compiled a list of 1,200 sites that are incompatible with Internet Explorer and will be redirected to Microsoft Edge, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, ESPN, Yahoo Mail, and many more.
