This brings me hope. But only a little. I’m sure they’ll find a way to keep running it.
Do you know why that is?
I noticed that there are prominent links to a Korean and Japanese version, presumably because Internet Explorer is still used to a large extend in those two countries. Korea had some crypto stuff that only worked in IE, but that was years ago. Why haven't those markets moved on more modern browsers?
As for Korea, IE was mostly for ActiveX, but now most Korean website supports modern browsers ie Chrome.
This should be, and always should be, the case. Chrome is such a bad actor in allowing userspace install, we mark it as malware to prohibit unauthorized installation. Chrome Enterprise policies don't seem to be able to disable this, marking it as malware is the only way out...
That said, we offer two modern browsers to everyone in our environment, Edge and Firefox.
Imagine Google would not support IE11, I'm sure the pressure to upgrade these browser would be much higher (not sure about the health care space though)
Also...no? Why would it be?
To the extent (if any, though I'd be surprised if there were none) IE11 doesn’t support standards required effectively, if indirectly, via the HITECH guidance on secured PHI, IE11 use could have some some adverse consequences under HIPAA (and, as a SaaS operator with a BAA that would include the vendor, not just the customer), but not in and of itself noncompliance for use or support. Mostly just making it more likely that situations would become reportable breaches.
