I never use EDGE on my computer because I found it to be slower than Firefox.

But I still use IE11, ironically, because I like to develop quick HTA tools for enterprise in HTML and Typescript powered by excel documents or access database using COM instead of having to download Electron and what not, which I don't need since I'm only developing for Windows.

it's unfortunate that everybody lost nearly 10 years because Microsoft stopped taking Webtechs seriously in order to focus on Silverlight and what not, which they later abandoned anyway.

I need to find an alternative to HTA though that still support COM since eventually Windows will stop supporting HTA apps.

Yes it is. It is also unfortunate that some people refuse to upgrade their browsers and engineers have to jump through hoops in order to still support them... ;)
