It is an end of an era today. hard to believe it survived for 30 years

I wonder how may users that visit GZ still use IE?

I still use it, not for day to day, but for IP cameras that I cannot configure without it.

I still use it for legacy things that won't work without it (I think. from memory, Nortel phone system music managers is one)

I actually used it last week to look at something inside a dynamically-generated dropdown menu using the developer tools. Edge, Firefox and Safari all closed the menu as soon as I clicked the "inspect" button, and only IE actually let me inspect the contents!

I haven't read the Stuff article but IE11 will be alive in some versions of Windows - including servers and enterprise versions - for at least a few more years.

Edge is pretty good. I'd say even better than Chrome.

I haven't used it for as year or so. We have some legacy apps running on it, but those are all running in Edge now.

rscole86: I still use it, not for day to day, but for IP cameras that I cannot configure without it.

For my Dahua cameras I now use SmartPSS to configure most settings and view cameras.

Some settings parameters still require a browser and Chrome does the job.

My Dahua cameras are fine, there was an update a couple of years ago that enabled Chrome support.

I've got an old Hikvision that I use as a baby/dog monitor, that their windows software does not fully support.

I've found all my Dahua cameras can be updated via Chromium browser but you just cannot view the video stream if they require the ActiveX plugin.

Otherwise just MS Edge in IE mode to configure with a live feed avaliable.
