How to uninstall internet explorer?

With new browsers coming, there is no need to work on the old browsers, which unnecessarily occupies storage space and makes the processor slow while surfing the internet. The Internet Explorer comes preinstalled in many Windows versions. However, Microsoft doesn’t look IE the way it uses to be, as now the Internet Explorer is unable to deliver a modern browser experience and lacks functionality.

There are new options available such as Chrome and Microsoft Edge that are set as your default web browser when you purchase a device with Windows 10 preinstalled on it. However, in some versions of Windows, you will still find the latest version of Internet Explorer, as a legacy feature to support sites using old web technologies.
Now, even the majority of Website developers do not maintain their sites for Internet Explorer as they know users do have plenty of other choices such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and others. With such a variety of browsers, there is no reason left to keep using the same old browser with security and stability problems.
