# Considerations for Microsoft Internet Explorer

Salesforce ended support for Internet Explorer 11 in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic on December 31, 2022.

Ending support for Internet Explorer 11 creates opportunities for Salesforce to focus on building our products using modern web technologies. For more information, see [_Salesforce Developers' Blog_: Ending support for IE11 on the Lightning Platform](https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2022/06/ending-support-for-ie11-on-the-lightning-platform).

Important As of December 31, 2020, when using Lightning Experience in IE11, a permanent banner displays in your Salesforce org indicating that you're on an unsupported browser. IE11 has [significant performance issues](https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?urlname=Internet-Explorer-Performance-Characteristics-for-Lightning-Experience&language=en_US) in Lightning Experience.

To use Lightning Experience or Salesforce Classic, we recommend that you use the latest stable version of a supported browser.
