It’s finally happened – after years of pointless prompting to ‘Make Internet Explorer your default browser’, after decades of pleading with the public to no avail – Microsoft has finally decided to retire their most useless feature. Internet Explorer is getting dropped, and people around the world are hailing the momentous occasion.

The unhealthy attachment Microsoft seems to have had with Internet Explorer, like some kind of toxic relationship, is finally finishing after 25 years. You’re free, Microsoft! Now go live your life, untethered by that annoying ex.
