Other non-standard behaviors include: support for vertical text, but in a syntax different from W3C CSS3 candidate recommendation, support for a variety of image effects and page transitions, which are not found in W3C CSS, support for obfuscated script code, in particular JScript.Įncode, as well as support for embedding EOT fonts in web pages. Microsoft submitted several other features of IE for consideration by the W3C for standardization. Internet Explorer has introduced several extensions to the DOM that have been adopted by other browsers. This has resulted in several web pages that appear broken in standards-compliant web browsers and has introduced the need for a 'quirks mode' to allow for rendering improper elements meant for Internet Explorer in these other browsers. During the height of the browser wars, Internet Explorer superseded Netscape only when it caught up technologically to support the progressive features of the time. Internet Explorer has been designed to view a broad range of web pages and provide certain features within the operating system, including Microsoft Update. Microsoft recommends Internet Explorer users migrate to Edge and use the built-in 'Internet Explorer mode' which enables support for legacy internet applications. Since November 30,, the web version of Microsoft Teams can no longer be accessed using Internet Explorer 11, followed by the remaining Microsoft applications since August 17, On June 15,, the desktop application of Internet Explorer 11 reached end of support for consumer versions of Windows 10, now redirecting to Microsoft Edge, marking the end of its existence. On June 1,, the Internet Archive removed the latest version of Internet Explorer from its list of supported browsers, citing its dated infrastructure that makes it hard to work with, following the suggestion of Microsoft Chief of Security Chris Jackson that users not use it as their default browser, but to use it only for websites that require it.

However, it will continue to be maintained as part of the support policy for the versions of Windows with which it is included. According to Microsoft, the development of new features for Internet Explorer has ceased.
