Morgan Jacobson says, “The news that Internet Explorer is set to be phased out surprised approximately no one. Most internet users have moved on to greener pastures anyway, so they won’t be affected by the changes. However, there are still about 7.7% of users that rely on Internet Explorer, at least as of March of this year.

Maybe that doesn’t sound like a lot of people. To put it in perspective, consider the fact that over three billion people use the internet. That means approximately 231 million people still use Internet Explorer. Now, what if those 231 million people are your ecommerce customers?

Big Changes for Staid Internet Users 

A particular demographic seems to prefer Internet Explorer over other browsers. These areusers over 45 years old — or in other words, users who have likely been Internet Explorer fans for a couple of decades. Regardless of reports that Internet Explorer isn’t as secure, as fast, or as trendy as Chrome, these users have steadfastly logged in to check email, shop online, and surf Facebook.“.
