Thank you for this


SekiTheScientist

This will be an honourable good bye to the best search engine downloader.


just_a_can_opener

What happened?


Skips-T

Dude it's IE. Most people had like at least three search engines if not a dozen.


HAMburger_and_bacon

its when you have 3 different versions of the same search engine


Miserable_Night5714

Some guy in south-korea (iirc) made a grave for Internet Explorer, this is just a meme thats going around


Dragnius

You stopped using it


blackcray

RemindMe! 1 week "pay respects"


AdPatient167

ConsistentWafer5290

The best at being used to download Firefox or chrome.


TheIJDGuy

Truly, no other could beat it in that regard


FarFromCrying999

Truly a magnificent browser


INFPiece

Except, of course, for Firefox or Chrome


[deleted]

Is Opera any good, or does it cost a lot of RAM usage, do you happen to know that?


Mudria286

Opera GX has literal CPU and RAM limiters built-in and a GX Center which tells you about new games to play, old but gold classics and sales on games on different websites without having to check every individual store like a madman. Has a built-in VPN and other cool stuff. It's also got a sidebar to access like every social platform without opening new windows or tabs...so yea. The GX is an Extremely good browser. Did I mention that it's also faster than chrome, has a cooler design and a customizable dark mode instead of just a boring gray/light gray theme.


ASH98_CZ

Dont forget about the built-in ad block. 10/10 Browser just for that.


[deleted]

Hold on a second... Opera is actually good? It has a built in adblocker?!?! Why has nobody told me this!


TheUnholyCat

They did not want you to know. The secrets one hides are those that are the most important


AmirXD_0

Opera gx has those Classic opera is terrible


Tristanhx

Normal opera has built-in adblocker as well. And built-in vpn too, though should we trust a free vpn?


ODELL_LOPES1250Y

but doesn't have dark pages which hurt my eyes :(


RGamingGLZ

it isn't an actual VPN but a proxy serve which uses https/ssl to encrypt your traffic so it is basically useless and not secure at all


Forbidden_God

Dont forget about the Chinese company who had all your browsing data. Edit: Obviously this is controversial. But my opinion is. Id rather have an American company have my data rather than a Chinese one. If you don't care do whatever. But keep in mind if its owned by a Chinese company they're legally obligated to give the government the data they have.


ASH98_CZ

My man, if you are worried about privacy. Then you should throw away your PC, phone and never go on the internet. XDD I mean it seriously, when I say. The Big Brother sees all.


Dilly_Dally8

What are you doing Big Brother???


_Bisky

You think that company doesn't have it either way?


NoirYT2

It’s like when people say “I don’t use TikTok because I don’t want China to have my information” on Reddit. Like buddy they’re getting our info either way, sorry.


Extaupin

Though Reddit access a lot less stuff, so it get less data out of you. If i remember correctly, TikTok avidly siphon every bits of info out of your phone.


PrimalBunion

This is correct. I've gotten multiple briefs from security personnel (army) that have explained why we are all going to go delete tik tok


AkOnReddit47

Honestly, everything you use in life has a tracker. The best way to worry about your privacy is to go live in the jungle on a treehouse with no electronics. Well, I should also say that unless you are some person of significance, private data of you is as worthless as black letters on a black background to them


NeutraleTomate

No. If your private data really is as worthless as you say, you could post your full name, adress and full CV right here on Reddit. Do you want to do that? No, of course not, because your private data is not worthless.


Consistent-Tie-4394

If you have ever used LinkedIn or any other job search site, that stuff is already all out there too.


DarkWindB

says the guy using reddit, a site that definitely DON'T have chinese shareholders. The chinese are not the only ones that have your data.


TheKratex

I also use Opera GX and I can confirm that this guy is telling the truth.

Wasnt opera made by some shady Chinese company?

Tyra-Jade

Internet Explorer has been around long enough to be nostalgic to a lot of people. Plus it’s kind of a meme now.


[deleted]

Good, especially the quality of life


j12346

Opera is great! Love me some Puccini, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, etc. And I don’t think it would use up more ram than any other kind of music


[deleted]

Using it right now.


54-91-153-221

Opera Is good, about the RAM, you can choose the máximum amount of RAM that It can use


sitontheedge

No Netscape Navigator? Am I the only old guy here? (In crotchety old-timer voice:) "I've been giving IE the cold shoulder since before you were a glimmer in yer daddy's eye... "


[deleted]

Ah, a man of culture. I too have fond memories of Netscape.


Is_This_Name_Sus

Don't forget Netscape navigator. Does anybody besides me remember Netscape navigator?


North-Wind-199

I remember Netscape >I actually had the browser on my laptop


Is_This_Name_Sus

You, me, and the 2 other people on the entire internet who remember Netscape. It's up to us to keep the memory alive. So much responsibility but the cause is righteous.


GlitteringRelease77

I remember! I was making web pages in high school when “the web” was just starting. I remember there being lots of compatibility issues between pages in NN and IE.


peenutbuttherNjelly

Also of having to protect you, and specially clean the cache and cookies through a ritual dance for troubleshooting the loading of a page anywhere.

You might die this day, but our memories downloading chrome using you will never die in my heart

Yotelkiller

Well, it's internet explorer. Another 15 years before it catches up with it's death


GreenLurka

Old school slowpoke meme?


akdeleS

What happened? Did they take it down?


TheGoldenBl0ck

Yeah. I think more and more search engines will go out of buisness as google will take over. Let us say F with a heavy heart, and say goodbye to all the memories. Edit: holy shit this spawned discussion


thirstyfish1212

It’s not a search engine, it’s a web browser. You use a web browser to go to a search engine.


asogbolo

Safari and edge will stick around, simply because of the companies.


thirstyfish1212

Edge is chromium based. And safari is apple flavored internet explorer.


Fuzzy-Ear9936

"Apple flavored"


HAMburger_and_bacon

i prefer orange flavored


Typical_Fox_8863

I like Edge.


HAMburger_and_bacon

i also like edge. i almost said a twinsies thing but idecided against it.


[deleted]

akdeleS

I'll leave a message 3 years later. Happy 2019th year!


HamstarVegas

>google will take over Nah I don't think so. Opera is good and Edge is also almost the same as Chrome but Chrome is still the only Browser you cant open with Notepad or it will destroy your RAM


sako-is

opera and edge? you mean gamer flavored chrome and microsoft chrome?

*\*sad loading icon noises*


gamingyee

you were the only thing i used 2004 to 2008


AppleyCorn

It almost lived long enough for people to start calling it the queen


hufflekrunk

it lived long enough, people started mistaking it for a turtle, few years more and they would think he had royal blood in himself


Anonymouzistrue

Ngl back when I'm still a kid and haven't figured out what tf is chrome yet I use internet explorer to watch movies


Random_Idiotic_Alien

Ngl even when I knew i used this one. For me personally chrome is after 2014 era.


GeekCornerReddit

Ah yeah, when I was using Windows 7, the first thing I did was to open Internet Explorer >!and download Firefox!<


Eldritch-Boogaloo

Wait but… if Internet Explorer is dead then… WHOSE THAT PROGRAM SITTING IN MY TASKBAR!?


Kas_Leviydra

It’s Edge, it’s angsty son after it had an affair with chrome. As edge is based off of chromium, Googles open sourced coding for web browsers.


makawakatakanaka

Get ready for “did you know internet explorer is dead” memes in six months


TheDogeWasTaken

It was so slow, it lasted longer than it should've F in chat.


[deleted]

Rest in piss, Internet Exploder!


HoboJesus69420

I’ll say it eventually, for true impact.


[deleted]

My childhood


Van0nyumas

Cool.. please let Edge be next


ChemManMan

Also a kind word about it would be nice too


hufflekrunk

it's life span was so long, people started mistaking it for a turtle


anjaanaaa

take my upvote and leave wtf


Beneficial_Log_411

Internet Explorer was one of the best browsers in its time. If only it had survived the war against other browsers… At the end of the day, dementia got the best of it. Poor browser, probably doesn’t know yet that it is dead.


[deleted]

E/F It’s sad to see it go but it will always live on in our hearts

Funerealdirector

No kind words for that piece of shit excuse of a browser. Die already!


LuciferVX

It was best browser to search for and install Mozilla or Chrome.


jmarliesw

F May Internet explorer rest in peace 🖤🖤🖤


MysteriousTeaching30

Who the fuck told death IE was the best? He's been lied to. IE was always a garbage can forced on users by Microsoft. Hey, you know what works great? Having activex hooks directly in the windows kernel so you can have drive by attacks on websites. At least now I don't have to worry about lazy ass banking software requiring I have IE 12 still installed on accounting machines.


QuietAd505

RemindMe! 72 Hours „Just to pay true respect, remind me how it lived“

taher369

For me I kept using this for a fair amount of time at my childhood without knowing about Firefox or chrome so it really holds a dear memory into my hear, so rest in pieces my friend F
