Over 1100 websites will stop opening in Internet Explorer in November

The once-popular Internet Explorer web browser is slowly becoming a thing of the past. The latest version, still present in Windows 10, was released a few years ago, and after the launch of the new Chromium-based Edge browser, developers are trying to gradually bring users to work with it. The next step in this direction will be the impossibility of opening 1156 popular sites in IE.

Starting next month, users who try to access certain websites using IE will see that the browser cannot open the web page, and instead, it will automatically load using Edge. The move is part of Microsoft’s plan to phase out support for the IE browser.

IE’s blocking functionality for some sites has already been tested with a limited number of Windows 10 users since Edge 84 launched this summer. However, with Edge 87 due next month, Microsoft is planning to force IE-to-Edge redirection for all users of the software platform.

The automatic redirection feature uses a new DLL that was added with the Edge updates in the summer. Sites that will stop opening in November with IE include platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, ESPN, Yahoo, and others.

Enterprise customers will be able to use Group Policy to disable the automatic redirection of link openings in Edge. The feature will only work on devices with IE and Edge installed. On older workstations with only IE installed, the new feature will not work.
