Internet Explorer

Microsoft IE continues to exist. The following is directly from Microsoft

Internet Explorer 11 is the new browser from Microsoft with improved performance, faster page load times, new standards support for next generation sites, and completely revised F12 developer tools. It includes new capabilities to improve real-world Web site performance, support for the well-defined and commonly used features of the emerging ECMAScript 6 standard, support for WebGL, and high quality, power efficient HTML5 video without plugins.

An interesting feature in IE that is not in other web browsers is that when you select and copy a page it is captured in RTF format which can be pasted into any word processor that understands RTF. This can be used to convert HTML to RTF.
