I just wounder, how come some of you don`t want users using IE? Your developing the website or whatever for your customers / readers and not only for yourself and the IT geeks. If I were using internet explorer and gets a message that I should get another browser to read the content I would just go to another site because of two things: - I probably dont know how to install another browser if im using IE. - Your probably not unique on the internet and I can allways find what im looking for somewhere else.
Different browsers have designing complicated. Specialized codes for every browser? especially with CSS3. OMG hate all browsers !
hello I think the biggest problem with IE and maybe with Microsoft as well is that they would rather set some sort of standard even though the rest of the World is using another one that is working very well. In IE this is very apparent and when you design a website, 99% of the time, it will not display the same as any other one of the famous browsers out there such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and funnily enough its replacement IE 7 and IE 8 The initial design phase The See if it works in IEÂ phase Then lastly the Fix all the IE issues phase
IE is not bad at all.They have to enhance their browser to give rich experience to the users.That's where they have failed so much , I guess.
Internet Explorer is definitely not as popular as it used to be. It was once the most popular browser on the Internet, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I think that title belongs to Firefox now.
It would be really great if IE would die (or at least would loose at least 90% of it's market share), it would save me hours of debugging. I'm not even sure why they still ship those versions with newer Win. packages (for example my last PC came with IE 7, even though it's Windows 7). I'm sure we won't see IE dying anytime soon, Microsoft has enough money and resources to push their software as much as possible. I had to go through the painful process of making my website compatible with IE very often - which usually resulted in removing most of the CSS3 features - , but that's a must if I want to "make us" of most of my traffic.
IE is dead to me, lack of security and whatever you install, there is always a toolbar with it, you open up IE, and there it is.. that stupid toolbar..
It depends on your user base. In the corporate world, IE has probably 75% share or more. If your target audience is computers behind corporate firewalls, you lose most of your users if you don't support IE - back to 6, or even 5. If your target is hobbyists, you probably won't lose more than 5%. I write my sites to work on all the major browsers and don't worry about it.
SOME Fortune 500 companies MIGHT be in that area on their INTERNAL intranets but the chances of anyone here dealing with those people are slim and none.
Perhaps for most IMrs. I love my firefox and all the free tools that come with it. At work, we have IE, I can't stand it.
I don't like IE either, but as Firefox/Chrome become more popular they will become more targeted by viruses; in fact Firefox is the most insecure browser. As for me I'm liking Opera
honestly I doubt if the very own Microsoft employees use IE as their default browser, let alone other talks
1) The story is talking about NEW vulnerabilities and not TOTAL vulnerabilities as shown in the link in my sig which shows far more total vulnerabilities in IE. 2) The report is almost a year old. 3) That report compared IE9 to Chrome 8, yet Chrome 9 was already out at that time and IE9 was not. 4) I can't find a link to the actual report and the site neowin links to is suspicious. 5) Secunia shows the exact opposite of what's being stated there.
IE is the least used browser in today's time.. It is being overpowered by other web browsers, especially Google..
