They say everyone grieves in their own way. In the case of Microsoft Corp’s Internet Explorer web browser, most people mourned the end of an era by sharing memes and taking trips down memory lane. On the other hand, a software engineer made sure that the old browser gets a proper burial.

South Korea’s Jung Ki-young commemorated the end of the browser by splurging $330 on a tombstone, which has the “e” logo and the epitaph, “He was a good tool to download other browsers” engraved on it.

 The gravestone, which is located at a cafe run by Jung’s brother in Gyeongju, went viral as soon as images of it hit the internet. 

Talking to Reuters, Jung said that he had mixed feelings for the browser, which nonetheless, played a significant role in his work life.

“It was a pain in the ass, but I would call it a love-hate relationship because Explorer itself once dominated an era,” he said.

He added that his clients would often ask him to make sure their websites appeared well on Explorer, which was South Korea’s default browser in banks and government workplaces for several years. 

Talking about the gravestone, Jung said that his only intention was to give people a good laugh, but he was surprised to see how the joke played out on the internet. 

“That’s another reason for me to thank the Explorer, it has now allowed me to make a world-class joke,” he said.

“I regret that it’s gone, but won’t miss it. So its retirement, to me, is a good death,” Jung concluded.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer came to an end after a 27-year run on June 15 and was replaced by Microsoft Edge, a revamped version of the outdated browser.
