Citation? Is this actually a thing?
Honestly I don’t believe you, mostly because your scenario involves people actually using Edge in sufficient volume that “everyone calls it IE” is supposed to be a meaningful thing.
- wastedhours 7y agoMy anecdata, everyone who I know who uses Edge (2 people, my parents on their Windows 10 machines) still call it Internet Explorer. They're tech savvy people too, but built up a habit with their new laptops. Hardly statistically significant I know though.
- dagw 7y agoI bet if I asked around the office what the default browser that came with their new Windows 10 laptops that were rolled out last year, 90+% would say Internet Explorer. The icon even looks similar. Now admittedly most of those people aren't using Edge, but that has a lot to with them thinking it Internet Explorer.
