This meme uses the popular 'they don't know' party template. A character standing alone in the corner wearing a small party hat has the Internet Explorer logo as their head, holding a drink and thinking the text displayed at the top right. The other people at the party are anthropomorphized versions of competing popular web browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, and Opera, all socializing with each other and paying no attention to Internet Explorer. The joke references Microsoft's official end of support and shutdown of the Internet Explorer web browser after decades of public availability.

The meme uses the iconic funeral scene from *Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare* that features the famous 'Press F to Pay Respects' interactive prompt. Uniformed honor guard soldiers have had their heads edited to be replaced with logos of popular modern web browsers: Opera, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, standing to mourn the discontinued Internet Explorer, whose logo is displayed on a memorial portrait next to the casket. The text at the top of the image reads 'He was the worst, but he was family', which humorously references the widespread public perception of Internet Explorer as a slow, poorly performing browser that was nevertheless a core nostalgic part of many people's early internet usage experiences.

This is a two-panel edited meme using a popular scene from *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*. In the first panel, three Spider-People stand together: the main Spider-Man has the AdBlock Plus (ABP) logo over his chest, Spider-Gwen speaks the line "It can't be that easy.", and Spider-Man Noir has the Mozilla Firefox logo over his chest. In the second panel, the three characters are dressed as waiters, still with the ABP and Firefox logos, as the line "It's that easy." is displayed. The meme communicates that switching away from Google Chrome to Firefox and using an ad blocker to avoid ads is a very simple process, countering the assumption that making this switch would be difficult.

This meme uses the iconic 'Stop trying to make [X] happen' scene from the comedy film *Mean Girls* to joke about a very common frustration among Windows users: Windows frequently automatically resets Microsoft Edge as the default web browser after system updates, even after the user has already set a different preferred browser as default. The overlaid text directly addresses the Windows system, telling it to stop forcing Edge onto users, and insists that users will not switch to Edge, matching the annoyed, insistent tone of the original movie scene.
