ActiveX was one of the primary reasons that so many enterprise web based apps couldn't be used other browsers. Enterprises were all Microsoft and ActiveX was used to do things like get to the user's active directory profile.
So while Internet Explorer was getting passed, corporate users were stuck on websites that required a proprietary plugin to use.
- Zelphyr 5y agoThis was still a problem at a company I worked at four years ago. Our customers were large corporations that had standardized on Internet Explorer over a decade prior and were unwilling to change anything because they had built so much on that platform. Some didn't even care that Microsoft had end-of-life'd it.
