There is a reason why this browser has had real staying power in comparison to its competitors. The latest in this product line is Internet Explorer 11, released in October of 2013. Since 1995, Microsoft has released eleven versions of Internet Explorer. The developers of the explorer were able to pinpoint the exact functions that users craved in a browser: an organized layout that allowed you to move efficiently through online content window features that were easy to find and a high-speed performance that would save you time in the long run. After its initial launch in July of 1995, the explorer went on to become one of the most popular web browsers available. The developers decided to release features that would support browser cookies to save data, secure socket layering, and virtual reality model language.
