After Microsoft revealed that Internet Explorer would be shutting down, the 27-year-old web browser is now set for its final curtain call. Microsoft said in a blog post last year that the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application would be decommissioned and support for certain versions of Windows 10 would end on June 15, 2022.

With the 15th of June approaching, Twitter users have flocked to share tweets and memes in honour of the browser. While some of these will make you laugh, others will make you nostalgic.

Let’s have a look at some of the hilarious memes.
