    I'm forced to use IE at work (and an antiquated version at that). I'd almost forgotten people still used it until I started my current job. Don't browse EoFF at work though. [/nowhere near as professional as I sound]

    Because your name is Loony BoB.

    We're talking about a man who thinks soup is a drink. Is anyone really surprised?

    The best bet is to not use computers at all, imo.


    But if you have to use a computer and web browser don't use IE. This has been common knowledge for many years.

    This is funny because the only thing that U.S. military computers use is Internet Explorer.

    I use IE at work because a web portal we utilize requires IE8 to run on and it's terrible.

    And I do browse EoFF at work, but thankfully I have Chrome installed for that.

    That is the most relevant image in the history of ever.

    I only ever utilize IE when I am checking for compatibility issues with website/forum content.

    I haven't used Internet Explorer since somebody informed me there were other web browsers I could download. That was 2007.
