      This *also* dovetails with Win7 extended support wind-down: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4057281/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020 … IE 11 is really, truly going away and the replacements are *good*.https://twitter.com/dalmaer/status/1217465759544139776 …

      Congrats to our friends at Microsoft. To say this type of change is a big lift is an understatement. Let's move forward the web commons together! 👊 https://twitter.com/MSEdgeDev/status/1216858411532345344 …

      "IE 11 is really, truly going away and the replacements are *good*." Would be 😻 I've seen it mentioned here and there, but haven't seen anything official from MS. Did I miss something?

      Nothing except the primary OS that IE 11 is used from going out of support and ~all Edge users getting a better platform ;-)

      They'd need to autoupgrade IE -> Edge on Windows 8.1 to truly put the nail in the coffin. I'm still holding on to hope!

      I don't think that'll happen, but 8.1 use is low:https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide …

          Then a Shame that they waited till Win 7 EOL and didn't auto upgrade to Edge there.

          So nothing official from MS and IE EOL seems to be tied to Win 10 now which is evergreen😢 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17454/lifecycle-faq-internet-explorer … Hopefully that can change and IE mode in Edge save the day for those who cant migrate for whatever reasonhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode#what-is-ie-mode …
