There are very few boundaries to what could be done comfortably internet in South Korea, another of the world’s most advanced nations unless you use a false internet browser.
As a business user from one of the state’s largest western banks, you could indeed make the business payouts online through Google Chrome. You cannot pertain for artist financing through the National arts website if you are using Apple’s Safari. Moreover, if you already own a child care center, you cannot start your business on the Welfare and Health Agency’s webpage using Mozilla Firefox.
In all these cases, Browser Explorer or a comparable alternative is needed.
Once Microsoft shut down Internet Explorer, and IE, on 15 June, it stated that customers would be redirected to its relatively new Chrome browser in the following months. The declaration sparked puns and memes memorializing the old web. However, in South Korea, Internet Explorer wasn’t just an online relic. The disused browser has still been required for a few essential financial services and govt tasks that so many people require.
South Korea’s devotion to Web Browsers, 27 years after its inception and then in its retirement, is fraught with irony: a country is known for flash internet service and cutting-edge new tech is tied to a full of bugs and unconfident software program that the rest of world has long since abandoned.
Often these South Korean web pages are compatible with all major, such as Google Chrome, which also accounts for nearly 54 percent of the nation’s internet usage. According to Statcounter, Web Browser records for less than 1% of all web pages. Nonetheless, following Microsoft’s announcement, there is a last scramble even among critical sites to start preparing for living after IE.
Standard Chartered South Korea alerted corporate clients in May that they’ll need to start to use the Microsoft edge in the “IE method” to connect its “Straight2Bank” online banking platform. Numerous Korean government sites warned consumers that if those who did not swap to Edge, a few facilities would likely be interrupted.
South Korea had relied on Internet Explorer since the 1990s when the country was a pioneer in using the web for financial services and buying groceries. To safeguard online payments, the government signed laws in 1999 needing encoded certificate authority for any issue that typically requires a user’s certificate.
Trying to verify a user’s character needed extra software, recognized as a plug-in, that linked to the browser. A South Korean government authorized firms listed to issue certificate authority by using a Microsoft plug-in recognized as ActiveX. Even so, the connector was only consistent with Internet Explorer.
