As for the market as a whole, all model-based editors are dropping support for the IE11 platform.

This is especially true given that our newest, more advanced feature – Real-time Collaboration – needs to be built in a model-based environment with the right APIs, which can not support IE11. With the shift towards a model based editor for TinyMCE, it’s increasingly difficult for us to continue supporting legacy software such as IE11. Testing features for IE11 has grown increasingly costly overtime as fewer and fewer build and test services support IE11. With browser software advances, TinyMCE has adapted to those changes, and for many years we have been the one of the few editors that have continued to support older browsers like Internet Explorer. In summary, the reasons for our intention to remove IE11 support are: 1. TinyMCE rich text editor Version 6 intends to drop IE11 support However, support will continue within the TinyMCE 5 series for as long as we support TinyMCE 5.

What this means for TinyMCE, is an important announcement – for our upcoming TinyMCE version 6 release, we intend to remove support for IE11. Microsoft has well and truly shifted development energy and customer support to their new browser: Microsoft Edge.

The web browser is now facing the end of an era, and Microsoft has recently announced that IE11 will be retired, and they’ll exit IE11 from their customer support program on June 15, 2022. Windows releases are now up to Windows version 11, while IE11 was introduced back in 2013. It's the default version of the web-browsing software available on all computers running Windows 8.1 or earlier. Internet Explorer 11 (or IE11), is a well known web browser – largely due to its age (not to mention the memes).
