With all the money that Microsoft has... Why can't they throw money at this problem and fix it? And then throw money at changing our perceptions. There HAS to be some bigger reason. [video=youtube_share;JyGP0ZyxF5E]http://youtu.be/JyGP0ZyxF5E[/video] It doesn't even work properly in the most basic way and we see this day in and day out in the web hosting game. They could have thrown money at this years ago to at least get those basics fixed. So weird
That is so funny. I could say the same thing about Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Firefox. They all have faults with certain pages and types of content. The problem is often nothing to do with the browser and everything to do with the code in the websites. Are we going to make sure every website meets a minimum standard of quality before it is allowed to be published? I'm definitely not saying IE does not have faults, but it is not "the fault".
Internet Explorer is not a proper web browser and requires separate testing to ensure compatibility. Many people will create two versions of a website just to accommodate IE.
I have to say that since ditching IE for Firefox, about 6 months ago!, I have had no problems with viruses or the computer just hanging for the sake of it! Coincidence?Also, the addons that you can get for Firefox are excellent in comparision to what IE offer, great for SEO etc.Just my thoughts but I will never go back to IE, too much hassel.RegardsJon
I'm not arguing any of those points. I prefer Google Chrome as my primary browser, Firefox comes in a strong second, with Opera close behind. IE gets opened rarely. Safari is opened more often than IE. I still will contest that a site which is built 100% compliant to standards works in all browsers. It is when you push the bubble, start adding in dynamic content, Flash, and other content where IE falls behind. On the other hand...When I was working as a Network Engineer and we would setup Exchange, Sharepoint, and other Microsoft services IE was the standard because the servers and IE were built to work excellently together. Some of the other engineers I worked with would not load Chrome or Firefox simply because IE was required for most server configurations we were installing.
IE may work with other Microsoft products, but that just makes sense. But, if you are advertising it for the general population as a web browser, make it compatible with everything... IE has so many issues with some of the latest HTML5 and CSS3 standards and they have yet to implement them. Most web devs will agree that you can get most things to work universally on other browsers and then IE ends up being the issue and you have to create a specific set just for IE.
I don't know, it's a mystery to me too. With all the money they have for coding and marketing, they could easily beat everyone else in the market.
IE9 is pretty good if you ask me. It only slower than Chrome a bit and definitely faster than the current Firefox version. I think the problem is that people just bias about IE.
Internet Explorer supports for online applications by using the different server scripting, It is not good in browsing the graphics.
