Internet Explorer

[Bejay]

Does anyone use IE? Do you like it? I find it pretty useless as you can't see most of the 'cool' sites. 🙁

I hate it, coding takes double the time because of it

 

[CyberFreak]

I haven't used it properly for years. I sometimes use it to test things but that is it.

 

[birdy]

I use it - IE8 and Google Chrome are the ones I use - I never have found a problem with IE :shrug:

 

[Zenrer]

Its not whats wrong with IE, its just that it gives coders a pain in the butt.

 

[AnonFM]

Nope, with no respect for web standards I often just ignore it.

 

[birdy]

Well I dunno I am only birdy and I don't code and it works for me :shrug:

IE takes time to load, which is pain in the butt really.

 

[Zenrer]

Well I dunno I am only birdy and I don't code and it works for me :shrug:

Well, coders dont seem to see it the way non-coders do 😀

Actually with ie 8 they are finally following web standards .

I find IE8 absolutely fine but everyone on here slams it - must admit though G Chrome gets my vote - Firefox for me is so jerky I cannot use it at all.

 

[Bossanova]

Ewww, IE. I hate it, and only uses it for testing multiple browsers compatibility of codes.

 

[birdy]

See there you go again everyone hates IE - I dunno must be a me! lol

The way i see it is alot of exploits seem to be mainly aimed at IE. I saw a video a few days ago about XSS and it mentioned some things that could only be done through IE such as stealing things from the victims clipboard and a few other things. If the victim uses a different browser it would stop some of these things.

I find that quite often sites display well in FF but in IE they look different. I don't mean to the point they look messy but to the point you look at it and think, it shouldn't be like that. Additionally i find FF to be faster then IE and i find it alot more customisable. To many average Internet users they probably don't see anything wrong with IE but when you try other browsers and compare them you will find that other browsers are better in most ways compared to IE. The amount of users using IE has been dropping while the users for the other browsers are increasing. That kind of speaks for itself.

IE is defiantly beat by Safari no doubt.

IE takes a long time to load on it's primary operating system, goes slow on fast connections and cannot see all the fancy pants coding on some sites.

Not to mention websites that block Javascript and such (like MySpace, for example) can still be exploited in IE, because if you put a new line through the word Javascript (\n), MySpace won't pick it up and will allow the code to go through. Most browsers won't execute the code because of the line, but IE will still read it as "Javascript" and execute the code.

So if there's something malicious going on, IE is most vulnerable.

Bah, gotta hate that.

Took 'em 8 versions to do so. I must agree that IE8 is a lot better, but only because it finally supports web standards better.

 

[Shiny Star]

I used to use it.

 

[Brack]

I will only use Firefox.

I use gmail for my emails.

 

[DarkRaven]

Ugh. I hate IE8. The interface is disgusting and it loads so slowly. I'm an avid firefox fan - never going back.
