Microsoft Edge does not support Silverlight outside of IE mode, Google Chrome ended support for it in September 2015, and Mozilla Firefox did the same in March 2017. Netflix transitioned from Silverlight to HTML5 in 2013 too. Even way back in 2011, we had former Microsoft executives proclaiming the death of Silverlight.
Silverlight 4 was the primary development platform for Windows Phone, and we all know what happened to that. The writing's been on the wall for quite some time now for Silverlight.
Silverlight is reaching end of support on October 12, 2021, as pointed out by Tero Alhonen on Twitter. As of now, the legacy framework is only supported on Internet Explorer, and that is set to change soon as well. It was released in 2007 and its most recent release came almost three years ago. Silverlight is Microsoft's framework for the development of web applications.
