Great news…There is no need to download anything, Internet Explorer is already on your computer. While Internet Explorer is still on all Windows computers, Microsoft has moved on from its vintage browser and developed Microsoft Edge. In fact, when I first opened up Explorer I was met by a page telling me to use Edge instead.

I decided to ignore its message and started browsing with Explorer. The first site I went to was Reddit, where I quickly discovered that Internet Explorer is no longer a real option when it comes to choosing a web browser. As people used the internet more, Microsoft introduced more and more functions to the browser that were considered cutting edge technology at the time. Flat web pages turned into more exciting, detailed experiences that made searching the web more fun and allowed users to connect in more ways than we thought possible.

Users and developers alike considered Internet Explorer to be the top example of what technology can do and the foundation of what it means to be truly innovative.

While the internet has evolved and a lot of people have started using one of the large numbers of internet browsers available today, Internet Explorer still has die-hard fans all over the globe. If you have a computer running the Windows OS, you more than likely have a version of Internet Explorer already installed.

On Windows 10, the most recent version of the browser is Internet Explorer The little blue 'e' that you'll see in your taskbar isn't Explorer though, it's Microsoft Edge, the newest browser from Microsoft that was first released in Edge is the default browser that will come up when you first use the internet on the Windows OS.

In order to get to Internet Explorer, you'll need to search for it in the task bar. The first thing that happens when you open the browser is a window pops up prompting you to properly set it up.

You can either choose the recommended settings or opt-out and customize the settings your own way. Using the recommended settings mostly affects the security and compatibility of your browser by enabling Windows Defender SmartScreen.

SmartScreen is a component that works to protect you from harmful websites by relaying them to Microsoft to be looked over. More on privacy later. After the quick setup, you'll be taken to the MSN homepage. On this page you can view the latest news headlines, see world news, news specifically about your city and more. At the top of the page there are icons directing you to other Microsoft software and apps, like the Microsoft store, Outlook, One Drive, and the Microsoft Office Suite. Entering anything into the MSN search bar redirects you to the Bing search engine.

The interface is incredibly simple, with four icons to the top right taking you to menus for favorites and history, an icon for tools, one for settings, and one to bring you back to the home page. There is no clutter and tabs are quite thin - even more so than some competitors.

There are a few features that we find really cool, and one of our favorites is the ability to pin websites. If there's a website that you visit frequently, just drag the tab down to the task bar and bam - the website is pinned!
