It was one of the most used browsers in the world, reaching a market share of over 90% of users in the world between 20. There have been versions for Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8.1, being Internet Explorer 11 the latest stable version. Usually abbreviated as IE, it was first released in 1995 for Windows 95 and it has been present on all the operating systems of the North American company until it was replaced by Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. It also provides all the latest security and performance enhancements for Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS X.Microsoft's Internet Explorer is definitely one of the most veteran web browsers around. This latest version - version 5.2.3 - enhances browser compatibility for users who work on a network with secure authentication or with proxy servers. If you've just switched from Windows to Mac, try one of the browsers suggested above instead. There are absolutely no compelling reasons to use Internet Explorer for Mac. Since development finished in 2005, Internet Explorer for Mac doesn't offer even the most basic features that you would consider a prerequisite on any browser nowadays like tabs, extensions, saved sessions or private data management. Internet Explorer for Mac is incredibly slow, buggy, prone to crashes and freezing and is woefully short of security settings. We couldn't even render the Softonic website in it and indeed, most websites failed to load properly. However, for normal internet browsing we'd really discourage you from using it.

However, if you really can't help yourself and are an Internet Explorer nostalgic, you might want to try it for a trip down memory lane. Alternatively, just check out all of the other browsers available for Mac.

Since the browser is no longer designed to handle the requirements of most modern web pages, we strongly advise you to try Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera instead.
