A eulogy for Internet Explorer @ NLHTML5

In six days Windows 10 will be released. For the first time since Windows 95, Internet Explorer will no longer be the default browser in Windows. That place has been taken by Microsoft Edge. So now would be a good time to say goodbye. 
A eulogy, if you will.
