I didn't expect that IE, the winner of the first browser war, would end up in such a miserable situation
In the end, it was ruthlessly abandoned by Microsoft, ending in tragedy
If you don't want it, you don't want 22w lines of code

I think Microsoft is also struggling with this After a long time, I finally made a difficult decision

Decided to develop the Edge engine from scratch

The former IE used the monopoly of Windows to formulate its own independent "IE standard"
The past five years of IE There were no updates, and by the time it realized the problem, it was too late
The subsequent launch of IE7 and IE8 (the source of evil in writing compatibility) made it even more questionable and criticized

Having said this Actually, I just want to say that chrome is really great (~￣▽￣)~
Just kidding
I also hope everyone will remember the lessons of IE

Finally, let me give you an old saying...(Although It has nothing to do with the title)

Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
