It’s likely (if not certain) that Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer for those operating systems at some point in the future, but not now. (Internet Explorer is not available on Windows 11.) But Microsoft is not ending support for Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1, Windows 7’s Extended Security Updates for businesses, and the business versions of Windows 10 and Windows Server. Essentially, that means Microsoft is killing IE on the vast majority of consumer PCs. It also provides all the latest security and performance enhancements for Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS X.Internet Explorer’s desktop application will be retired on Windows 10 PCs beginning today, June 15, 2022. This latest version - version 5.2.3 - enhances browser compatibility for users who work on a network with secure authentication or with proxy servers. If you've just switched from Windows to Mac, try one of the browsers suggested above instead. There are absolutely no compelling reasons to use Internet Explorer for Mac.
Since development finished in 2005, Internet Explorer for Mac doesn't offer even the most basic features that you would consider a prerequisite on any browser nowadays like tabs, extensions, saved sessions or private data management. Internet Explorer for Mac is incredibly slow, buggy, prone to crashes and freezing and is woefully short of security settings. We couldn't even render the Softonic website in it and indeed, most websites failed to load properly. However, for normal internet browsing we'd really discourage you from using it.
However, if you really can't help yourself and are an Internet Explorer nostalgic, you might want to try it for a trip down memory lane. Alternatively, just check out all of the other browsers available for Mac. Since the browser is no longer designed to handle the requirements of most modern web pages, we strongly advise you to try Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera instead. Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and does not provide further security or performance updates.
