Migrating from Internet Explorer to Edge, Chrome or Firefox

April 20, 2022 / Probe Research

Microsoft has retired Internet Explorer and will go out of support on June 15, 2022. Click here to read more from Microsoft on this. Continuing to use a browser not supported will result in serious security risks and vulnerabilities. Click here to read more on what Microsoft says. Considering this it is advisable to migrate to other new browsers like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

If you are working in an organisation like Bank, Large Corporates etc., browser installations will be mostly managed by the internal technical support team. In such cases, please raise a ticket requesting your technical support team to install Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or  Mozilla. Kindly note you can have more than one browser on your PC if you want.
