IE's dead.

Post by **Gew** » 03 Nov 2022, 15:18

Heh, I use Windoze built-in IE sometimes today still. This is usually when I'm at a customers premises and I want a clean slate, meaning no porn bookmarks popping up and/or so making me cringe out of my mind so to speak. At home, I switches to Mozilla Firefox in the early 2000's and have been running Chromium for primary browser for the last couple of years. Brings back many memories though, together with the also well known Netscape Navigator. May both of these two web browsers rest in peace.

I'm curious how this will affect SharePoint's integration with (File) Explorer.
SharePoints can be accessed as an -almost- regular network drive, but only after you regularly authenticate with its webpage using Internet Explorer, even though further access using IE is actively blocked. Authenticating using Edge doesn't grant Explorer access.
So after February, when IE gets disabled, that integration becomes either impossible to use, or more cumbersome to use requiring scripts using the webbrowser control.

For using ie in scripts we have some more time.
From Nic Champagne Williamson [MSFT], who works on MS Edge:

the WebBrowser control will continue to work after the IE Desktop Browser end of life in 2022, until about 2029. We do have #440 tracking adding IE mode support, but I don't anticipate we will get to that work anytime soon, and our recommendation is to switch between using WebView2 and WebBrowser if you still need IE support.

Anyone have access to Wikipedia? They need to add Internet Explorer to the 27 Club article.

Here's a tribute song for IE. F.

Alas, poor Internet Explorick!
On torrent sites, I kept a good ratio.

To I.E., or not to I.E., that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler when online to suffer
The pings and downloads of inefficacious broadband,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of hotspots.

Still works here for now but

Following industry best practices, the IE11 desktop application will be progressively redirected to Microsoft Edge over the next few months and after will ultimately be permanently disabled via a future Windows Update, to help ensure a smooth retirement.

-- Internet Explorer to be removed from Windows 10

Internet Explorer still came pre-installed with Windows 10, but it won’t be around for much longer.
Microsoft has confirmed that Internet Explorer 11 (the latest version) will be removed from Windows 10 via a security update this month.

Few people will mourn its loss, but there are a handful of situations where Internet Explorer is still necessary to run specific software.
In those scenarios, Microsoft Edge’s dedicated IE (Internet Explorer) mode will do the trick.

what he said. I specifically stated Chrome, not Chromium.

6 is fundamentally wrong. 1-5 are personal preference. 7 is not an argument but a suggestion as to what to use instead.

Post by **gregster** » 01 Dec 2020, 01:19

Vivaldi is also chromium-based - so I don't think that tidbit's arguments are directed against Chromium, but rather Chrome specifically.
Also, I don't see how the arguments 1-7 are fundamentally wrong - most are obviously based on personal preferences, the rest is objectively correct.

why not chrome:
1) google
2) google
3) it's too bare without addons
4) relies on addons
5) using too many addons is gross
6) it's not 2008 anymore, all browsers work great with all sites (except may some fringe experiment sites testing experimental features of a specific browser)
7) Vivaldi browser exists. Same devs as the original Opera before it got bought out.

Well you are fundamentally wrong in several arguments.
All major browsers (except firefox) are switching to a chromium backend because maintaining performance and compatability with modern websites and their standards is an impossible task.
Chromium is in fact the engine that performs the best on most websites e. g. Microsoft resigned Edge after Youtube added an Element seemingly just to disable Edges rendering optimizations.
And I mean tbh Google gets your data anyways wether you browse with whatever browser you want or not.
