No, I don't miss Internet Explorer.  I like Microsoft Edge because I can earn Amazon gift cards as a registered user of Microsoft Rewards. 

When I bought a laptop with Windows 10 I had MS Edge.  Bing Rewards is now called Microsoft Rewards and it's another way to earn online.
Have a great day!

We still use internet explorer at both my day job and night time/weekend projects. Microsoft pushes Edge but it ends up messing up processing systems on both job sites. The daytime company is among the top fifty largest in the world and over sixty percent of our information technology problems come from people that inadvertently used edge despite being not to do so. It took our company two weeks to figure out why our primary processing program was moving at a speed of slow to not at all. Edge was determined to be a large part of the problem. Use of Chrome is also frowned upon with our daytime systems and not compatible with over ninety percent of what we use on a daily basis. It may work well with smaller use needs but is an absolute no-no with the data set sizes I use even on an hourly basis.

    I knew all about it...to the point that many Internet users
are using other browsers.

Personally, I don't like any of the IE browsers.  I use Chrome.

Internet explorer is still in the windows 10 OS. Microsoft Edge bites. Some flash based webpages do not work.

I gave up using Internet Explorer a long time ago.  I use Chrome.
Have a wonderful day!

No. Internet Explorer was not a good web browser. It couldn’t detect malware or viruses.

I do much better, and feel much safer with Mozilla FireFox.  I do not like IE, and Edge is too much like it.

Since I went to FF, I have done much better, had so many fewer problems.

I kind of miss it, but I had switched to Google Chrome just before IE was changed. :)

I like edge a lot better than IE plus if you use Bing to search you earn points for gifts

Nothing on any webpage should only work for particular browsers.
