(MENAFN) Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) development team members revealed renaming the popular Internet browser in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" (AMA), Xinhua reported.
The team considered renaming the browser to differentiate the new version from the slow and unsafe predecessors of the product, after a decline in IE popularity was seen.
IE 8 is the browser that came with the Windows 7 operating system. Since IE 11 release, Microsoft has been facing the problem of some users refusing to upgrade their Internet browser's version.
The IE development team said it is also looking to improve the browser's extensions, as they have lagged behind rivals including Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
