On April 2, Microsoft officially said that when Win 10 is upgraded to Win 11, the data in Internet Explorer will be lost.
It is worth mentioning that Microsoft plans to stop supporting Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, and Edge's Internet Explorer mode can be supported until at least 2029. Even though Internet Explorer doesn't have many users, Microsoft still wants to turn this part of the user into Edge users.
According to Affde, Chrome is currently thriving in the desktop browser market, accounting for 68.76% of the market share, while Firefox is currently only about 7.17%, which has been on a downward trend since 2011. In the global desktop browser market, Chrome is basically the only one, Apple's Safari is slightly higher, but the market share is only 9.7%, and Firefox and Edge are only about 7%.
Since Microsoft is going to stop supporting Internet Explorer, it is better for this part of the user to change browsers as soon as possible. Among these browsers, Xiao Lei's most recommended is the Chrome browser, Edge and other browsers are also used in the Chromium kernel, and the Chrome browser can get the fastest update. Chrome is one of Google's core businesses, and Google will also take care to update the browser. There are more and more promotional messages on the Edge browser, and Microsoft pays more attention to advertising revenue.
Win 11 has been pushed in full for some time now, but the system still has some problems. If users want to experience Win 11, Xiaolei recommends that users install it with a virtual machine, so that it will not be so annoying when encountering bugs. Over time, there will be fewer and fewer bugs on Win 11, and it will be more appropriate to change the system at that time.
Windows-related revenue in Microsoft's total revenue share is declining, Microsoft has not spent a lot of effort on system updates, the current Windows support for high resolution is still not perfect, pay attention to high-resolution users can consider macOS.
