In 2003, Microsoft said goodbye to the standalone version of the browser, but Internet Explorer continued as a part of the evolution of the operating system, with updates coming bundled in operating system upgrades. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 1.0 saw the first websites in August 1995.

Today, the Internet Explorer (IE) 11 desktop application goes out of support and will be retired for certain versions of Windows 10.
