For Jung Ki-young, a South Korean software engineer, Microsoft's decision to retire its Internet Explorer web browser marked the end of a quarter-century love-hate relationship with the technology.
To commemorate its demise, he spent a month and 430,000 won designing and ordering a headstone with Explorer's"e" logo and the English epitaph:"He was a good tool to download other browsers."After the memorial went on show at a cafe run by his brother in the southern city of Gyeongju, a photo of the tombstone went viral.Microsoft scaled down support for the once omnipresent Internet Explorer on Wednesday after a 27-year run, to focus on its faster browser, Microsoft Edge.
End of an era: Microsoft retires Internet ExplorerBut his customers kept asking him to make sure their websites looked good in Explorer, which remained the default browser in South Korean government offices and many banks for years.Launched in 1995, Explorer became the world's leading browser for more than a decade as it was bundled with Microsoft's Windows operating system that came pre-installed in billions of computers.
