can't believe shrek is fucking dead. rip to a real one.
Tomorrow, an old friend will die. This was a pal to many of us, someone who would be there when you needed them, someone who would help you through the good times and bad. When you needed to look up the Battle of Waterloo, it was there. When you needed to spank it to whatever disgusting freak fetish you like but God abhors, it didn't judge. When you wanted to download some applications that would inevitably nuke your computer but you didn't have Limewire, it did so with a smile on its face. It did its job and helped you in more ways than you'll ever know.

Sure, it was a bit slow, and got paced by newer, sleeker models, and it was a security nightmare, but it was always there, just in the background. In later years, it would wonder why you never came around anymore. Maybe you didn't remember. Maybe you didn't like it, but it still would have been there for you.

And tomorrow, we say goodbye. It's the end of the road to something we relied on in our formative years.

I sometimes click edge accidentally on my personal computer and go "wait poo poo" and immediately close it and go to chrome

My work has been begging people for months to switch to Edge, and it's gonna be real funny when it's deleted off computers and people are confused. We also have specific applications that are IE only which is going to be just stellar to work through

I have to use edge for inventory blackflush and stuff at work, the MS skin is annoying but it's a pretty fast generic browser otherwise. Completely the opposite of our overweight departed pariah of a garbage browser.

I still use chrome out of habit at home.

My work uses Dynamics 365 as our CRM, which is a Microsoft product and yet we use Chrome as a browser because Dynamics doesn’t work well with Edge lmao.

I used to install a ton of add-ons. I can’t remember what they called them. Bars that go under the search bar. They were pretty cool.

My favourite part of IE was that Windows was so poorly designed in so many parts that the OS assumed IE was there, and so many calls would rely on it. So many nerds who forcefully removed IE experienced a lot of issues because random, unrelated apps and services would try to make a call that relied on IE, only to get nothing and crash.

There was active desktop for sure, but then there was random applications and services for like, I dunno, temperature monitoring or something, that relied on IE for telemetry and poo poo.

It was such a clusterfuck and it was great. Disable IE and suddenly you can't see file sizes or random other bugs. I can't remember specifics but it was fun times.

For all the current clusterfuck that is Windows they've definitely learned to decouple a lot of stuff.

Except search being tied to EDGE AND NOTHING ELSE. Apparently that is forbidden technology.

MSN had that at one point too, at one point it would also show what song you were listening to live, so you could use that to try and hint at said fanciable girl as well.

I didn't use yahoo messenger much except for chatrooms. MSN Messenger was always the main one in the UK when I was younger. "get yous on MSN" you'd say to your pals as you left the skatepark to head home for dinner. The good old days.
