Goodbye Internet Explorer, the most "memable" browser ever Subtitle loading

UPDATE 14.02.23: less than a year after Microsoft announced its decision to stop supporting Internet Explorer 11, the famous browser has finally stopped working. In fact, by clicking on the program icon, it will offer us to switch to Edge, Microsoft's new home browser that has, in fact, permanently retired from its predecessor. A historic day then, marking the end of what had become synonymous with the early Internet era, the one made of 56k Modems and endless waits to load an image.

With Explorer goes away an icon, but above all goes away one of the last memories of the 'first' Internet, the one that made modems croak horribly, the one in which fluid pages and interactive images were a science-fiction dream - but also the one that seemed to hold the most promise for a whole world that, at the brink of the 20th century, was still tied to the uncomfortable analogue medium and for which the Encarta encyclopaedia represented the last frontier of digital culture. For many years, before Firefox or Chrome came along with their swiftness and agility, the blue 'E' of Explorer was the very symbol of the Internet, and even in meme form that symbol has remained, albeit as a comical presence representing the slowness of the technology of yesteryear and the degree of sophistication to which we have now arrived.
