Google search is undoubtedly the most widely used search engine in the world, and the service is used on almost all networked devices, such as PCs, Macs and smartphones.

Users can access the search engine through the built-in application of the Android smartphone or through the browser on the phone and computer. However, Google has now taken a big step-it has stopped working on this browser. Google has officially dropped support for the Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 browser.

Although it is surprising that it took Google so long to give up support for Internet Explorer, a software engineer from the company recently tweeted that Google has officially dropped support for Internet Explorer 11 in its main product. This means that users of Google Search on older Internet Explorer browsers will not see the modern search results and answers that are visible when using Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and similar browsers.

Earlier this year, the company decided to abandon support for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides on Internet Explorer, thus ending support for Google Search. It has been several years for users to upgrade from Internet Explorer, which was released eight years ago, when Windows 10 had not yet been released. This browser is the default browser of Windows 8.1, and has lags behind modern browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox in terms of functionality and security. Fast forward to 2021, and Microsoft has been upgrading Microsoft Edge, the successor to Internet Explorer.

This means that users should switch to one of the other browsers mentioned earlier in order to safely browse the Internet and enjoy the benefits of modern network technology. With the arrival of Windows 11 earlier today, Microsoft’s focus has been to further integrate its applications, such as Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Edge, and other services to provide a more cohesive user experience. The company also made it very difficult to switch the default browser, Microsoft Edge.

However, if you use Mozilla Firefox, it is reported that you can click in the browser settings to make it the default browser on Windows 10, and other browsers may adopt this method in the future.
