Summary: Microsoft wants us to think that it has some exciting new Web browser that we should all be using, but it is technically little more than a piece of malware and we ought to strive for the extinction of Microsoft on the Web (it's already heading in this direction regardless); Microsoft legally deserves nothing short of extinction

"The Death of Internet Explorer Has Been Greatly Exaggerated," Ryan said a few days ago, refuting the corporate media. As a former Microsoft MVP, focusing at the time on things like browsers (in the Netscape era), he should know. Internet Explorer severely damaged the Web and we should never forgive Microsoft for it. There's also the antitrust action which looked into Microsoft's illegal actions which led to this browser's dominance. Microsoft was never really punished for it. There's ample evidence of it (e.g. press coverage from Wired [1, 2] before it was acquired by Microsoft boosters).

An associate reminds us of "the metastacization that will leave bits of MSIE [Microsoft Internet Explorer] embedded in an accessible manner inside Windows for as long as Windows persists..."

"Edge is just rebranded Chromium with some proprietary bits thrown in," an associate tells us. Let's finish it off. Let's kick Microsoft off the Web browsers market. ⬆
