A software update to the Edge browser that began rolling out this week will permanently disable Internet Explorer 11 on any Windows computer that still has it installed. In some ways, it is a fitting end. Microsoft had a habit of forcing Internet Explorer into nearly everything, to the point where the practice sparked a federal antitrust suit against the company in 1998. Going in and forcibly removing the software feels like a characteristically overbearing end to the cycle.
