Internet Explorer Hands Chrome Download Duties to Edge Meme

The meme uses a standard image macro format, with black text at the top above a still frame from the 1972 film *Jeremiah Johnson*. The top text reads 'Internet Explorer when handing over Chrome downloading duties to Edge'. The image shows actor Robert Redford as the titular Jeremiah Johnson, a rugged bearded frontiersman, looking over his shoulder at the viewer with a tired, relieved, resigned expression while holding an object as if passing it off, perfectly embodying the joke of the obsolete browser Internet Explorer happily passing its only widely recognized use case (downloading competing browser Google Chrome) on to its replacement, Microsoft Edge.

Internet Explorer when handing over Chrome downloading duties to Edge

Overview

The meme uses a standard image macro format, with black text at the top above a still frame from the 1972 film Jeremiah Johnson. The top text reads 'Internet Explorer when handing over Chrome downloading duties to Edge'. The image shows actor Robert Redford as the titular Jeremiah Johnson, a rugged bearded frontiersman, looking over his shoulder at the viewer with a tired, relieved, resigned expression while holding an object as if passing it off, perfectly embodying the joke of the obsolete browser Internet Explorer happily passing its only widely recognized use case (downloading competing browser Google Chrome) on to its replacement, Microsoft Edge.

Origin notes

This meme is a remix of the widely used Jeremiah Johnson reaction template originating from the 1972 American Western film Jeremiah Johnson. This specific iteration was shared on the X (formerly Twitter) account @meme.jpg and distributed via RSS feeds. The core joke references a long-running internet meme about Internet Explorer being useless except for downloading Chrome, a role that has been transferred to Microsoft Edge after Internet Explorer was officially discontinued.
