The End of IE and the EU Launcher

[The Stare]

Support for Internet Explorer ends shortly. The EU Launcher is built using its pieces & parts. Any links in the launcher won't open in anything but IE.

Seems to me it's due to break.

No way! They totally thought ahead, had a plan, thoroughly tested it and are sure to announce news about the new launcher in a timely maner! It'll come soon! Ofc its gonna be bug free too!

Tho to be fair, i had no idea IE would end its support. Whats MS using now? Edge only?

Browser choice hardcoded in the CL, I never understood that. Maybe they had a good reason back when they wrote it. June 15th is comming soon, we will see what happens when IE is removed in a comming windows update.

IE mode is available in Edge that will be supported till atleast 2029.

RIP... That's gonna delay the engine upgrade by at least 3 years.

The point is that nobody uses IE, not even MS. The only program I am aware of that forces you to use IE is the client launcher. I have even put bug reports in about that.

I completely removed IE from my PC years ago, and haven't been able to open links since. Hopefully this will prompt a new resolution from MA. And hopefully that resolution isn't to hardcode a different browser.

It's safe to say that MA doesn't consider it broken until it breaks. AFAIK, nobody pays for the ads, so they aren't losing $$ or pissing people off.

Well, a couple of american governemnt websites, honeywell security doors systems, at least two types of firewalls I've encountered.
There is a lot of old stuff that only works with IE.

I seem to remember trying that and eventually gave up. It wasn't worth the effort.

pretty sure loader will work, just you will not be able to open links
