Welcome to the 128th issue!

As I previously mentioned in 2020 and 2021, the infamous Internet Explorer 11 has finally been retired after 27 years of existence.

While it was just a matter of time as many popular services have already stopped providing the support, I'm happy it finally happened.

Hopefully, we shouldn't see tricky ifs and pesky bugs caused by this browser anymore.

So feel free to share the good news with your web devs and testers.

Happy testing! 🙂
