Twitter flooded with memes as Microsoft prepares to shut down Internet Explorer after 27 years

With June 15 just round the corner, netizens have flocked to Twitter to share posts and memes in memory of Internet Explorer. While some of them are giggle-worthy, others may make you a bit nostalgic.

You are in school and just returned after back-to-back tuitions. You rush to freshen up and switch the desktop with your foot.

If yes, then you are quite familiar with the challenges faced by people while using this particular browser.

In a blog post last year, Microsoft announced that the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application would be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022 for certain versions of Windows 10.
