IE11 is the only browser still supporting ActiveX and Java Applets (and other Oracle tech), so many corporate/enterprise users specifically set up their environments so that IE11 is the default user experience.
While consumers have mostly moved on, it will be a long slow crawl away from IE11 for everyone else. Microsoft set this path when they decided not to support this legacy tech' on Edge (and Chrome/Firefox dropped support).

- rightbyte 8y agoJava Applets were awesome. ActiveX is handy for enterprise glue. Flash is nice too. There was a huge gap before JS frameworks cought up to Java Applets and Flash after they in practice were dropped.
- dcbadacd 8y agoThis huge gap has been pretty much bridged, removing the huge security concerns as well. It's time for those things to die. Whipping up an old browser should be the only way to use those things so that noone is even tempted to write things like that.
