So, for almost the entire world, IE was their introduction to internet. The original gateway. For me, a kid in early 2000s, IE was the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Explorer. It was right there in the name. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/branding-hacks\/how-to-name-your-brand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Branding-wise, it was brilliant<\/a> on Microsoft\u2019s part. Instead of naming its browser something vague, like Netscape Navigator, it openly told users what the program was going to do: explore the internet with you. Even kids could get it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Explorers-e-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Explorers e logo\" class=\"wp-image-20294\" title=\"Explorers e logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>And we did. That little iconic \u2018e\u2019 logo became the most well-known symbol in the world and IE the most dominant internet browser. It also almost happened overnight. In just a few years since its launch, Internet Explorer had a usage share of more than 90%.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/THE-RISE-OF-INTERNET-EXPLORER.png\" alt=\"The Rise Of Internet Explorer\" class=\"wp-image-20301\" title=\"The Rise Of Internet Explorer\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/THE-RISE-OF-INTERNET-EXPLORER-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/THE-RISE-OF-INTERNET-EXPLORER-750x418.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Usage_share_of_web_browsers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How was this level of dominance, this seamless synonymity with internet was achieved, considering we also had Netscape, another browser \u2013 a good one \u2013 available in the market at the same time?<\/p>\n<h2>The Battle of the Browsers<\/h2>\n<p>IE became big, gigantic even, because Microsoft decided to bundle it with its Windows operating system. Every time someone installed Windows, IE came as part of the package \u2013 preinstalled. Instead of buying and installing a new browser, you could run IE with just the click of a button (or a few \u2013 thanks to dial-ups). But bundling it up with Windows made it easy, convenient, and free to use.<\/p>\n<p>It also made it a serious concern for competition. The free bundling gave IE an unfair advantage over its rivals, such as Netscape. At least, that\u2019s how the Department of Justice saw it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Internet-Explorer-vs-Netscape-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Internet Explorer vs Netscape Logo\" class=\"wp-image-20297\" title=\"Internet Explorer vs Netscape Logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>In 1998, seeing the meteoric rise of the Internet Explorer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/08\/microsoft-antitrust.asp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">DOJ took it upon itself to investigate Microsoft<\/a> to see if the company had used any unfair means to stifle its competition and create a monopoly. An antitrust case was filed to see if Microsoft has \u2018made it unreasonably difficult for consumers to uninstall Internet Explorer and use a competing browser,\u2019 an issue that mirrors modern concerns around securing fair access and control through technologies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssh.com\/academy\/pam\/what-is-privileged-access-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privileged Access Management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To the surprise of many, and despite the trial being riddled with complex legal issues, the verdict held Microsoft accountable for creating a monopoly and violating parts of the Sherman Antitrust Act, which protects open market against monopolies and cartels.<\/p>\n<p>While the antitrust case was settled between Microsoft and DOJ, IE emerged as the victor. It continued to enjoy its unrivaled supremacy and by all accounts, won the first round of the Battle of Browsers.<\/p>\n<h2>What Sealed IE\u2019s Fate?<\/h2>\n<p>It was not just one thing but a myriad of reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft had probably gotten a little too comfortable in absence of all the rivals. It did not release a new, updated version of Internet Explorer for five years, after IE6. The many performance and functionality issues that had started to annoy the consumers were piling up.<\/p>\n<p>It was not developing as fast as the internet was evolving. The browser had become prone to freezing and sudden shut downs. The slow speed had become a norm, and the constant errors and bugs were making the market ripe for some serious disruptions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mozilla-FireFox-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Mozilla FireFox Logo\" class=\"wp-image-20299\" title=\"Mozilla FireFox Logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/mozilla-logo-and-branding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enter Mozilla\u2019s Firefox<\/a>. It was launched in 2004 and, in just a year, was downloaded over 100 million times.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Chrome-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Google Chrome Logo\" class=\"wp-image-20295\" title=\"Google Chrome Logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Google released its web browser, Chrome, which overtook Firefox in 2011, with the latter holding a 25.23% market share, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gs.statcounter.com\/press\/chrome-overtakes-firefox-globally-for-first-time\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Chrome taking 25.69% of the market<\/a>. IE was still the leader, though, with 40.63% global share.<\/p>\n<p>The tide had started to turn, however. Apple had launched its own browser, Safari, and many other players had also entered the market. Through all these new browsers, users were introduced to an online experience that was lightning fast, smoother, glitch-free, and extremely secure.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty soon, Internet Explorer was relegated to become a tool that we used to download other browsers, and thus lost the second round of the Battle.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/THE-DEMISE-OF-INTERNET-EXPLORER.png\" alt=\"The Demise Of Internet Explorer\" class=\"wp-image-20300\" title=\"The Demise Of Internet Explorer\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/THE-DEMISE-OF-INTERNET-EXPLORER-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/THE-DEMISE-OF-INTERNET-EXPLORER-750x418.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Usage_share_of_web_browsers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Visual History of the Internet Explorer<\/h2>\n<p>You can judge a lot about how a brand envisions itself and its future by the way it conducts its visual presence. Very much like how you can judge a book by its cover. Because visual details matter.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from this collage below, there isn\u2019t much going on in terms of direction or clarity of thought with Internet Explorer\u2019s logos. It\u2019s just a small-case \u2018e\u2019 with an oval band surrounding it in a vague interpretation of a globe or an atlas. Not very polished, is it?<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Internet-Explorer-Evolution.jpg\" alt=\"Internet Explorer Evolution\" class=\"wp-image-20296\" title=\"Internet Explorer Evolution\" width=\"600\" height=\"688\"><\/p>\n<p>And quite literal and unimaginative. Even as the design progresses over the years, we don\u2019t see much change. The band sometimes becomes shinier and the alphabet gains some shadows and a sheen, but there isn\u2019t anything here that tells you the purpose of the brand, its values, and its USP.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is fairly in line with how the product itself had behaved over the years. Commanding the stage when there were no contenders but not really having anything of substance to show even then. And while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/taco-bell-logo-spawns-distrust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">there have been bland company logos<\/a> before, Microsoft&#8217;s absolute unwillingness to overhaul its browser or at least its brand identity make it an especially interesting example.<\/p>\n<p>Makes you think, why did Microsoft not give IE a fighting chance. Why let it rot?<\/p>\n<h2>Edge: Microsoft\u2019s Answer to Chrome, Safari, and Firefox?<\/h2>\n<p>While we may never know why Microsoft forced Internet Explorer to suffer the burnt of internet ridicule, it\u2019s new browser, Microsoft Edge, promises to avenge its predecessor\u2019s name. It\u2019s a much faster, more secure browser, with tons of feature to fully customize your browsing experience.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Microsoft-Edge-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft Edge Logo\" class=\"wp-image-20298\" title=\"Microsoft Edge Logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s built on Google\u2019s Chromium framework and thus offers speed that matches Chrome\u2019s. It\u2019s also compatible with most of Chrome\u2019s extensions and delivers a clean, minimal, and stunningly sophisticated user interface.<\/p>\n<p>Does this mean that users will now give up Chrome or Firefox and make Edge their default browser?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe not today. But if Edge keeps getting better, we may have a third round of the Battle after all.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ctaBox\" class=\"cta-box\"><button class=\"cta-close\" title=\"Close\">X<\/button><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/logos\/search?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=slider&#038;utm_campaign=ctatracking\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmantic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Professional-Logos.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"252\" alt=\"Professional Logos\" title=\"Professional Logos\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 15, 2022, everyone on the internet bade farewell to Microsoft\u2019s Internet Explorer.
