Should Internet Explorer be banned?

Fools! No one ever suspects the under the radar Opera user.

A few years ago I would have agreed but they've revamped Opera so now it's just Chrome with a different skin

I still use v12.17, I have the newer version cause some things don't load properly on this version, but overall the old Opera is just better looking and I'm used to it. Too hipster for you.

RIP old Opera although I hear some people are forking it, at least.

Last time I used IE, I killed my sister and sexually assaulted my dog.

But I also downloaded Firefox, so.... net gain?

And with it, you got a new sister and dog. Firefox-ko.

I've also tried FireFox, which I know is the descendant of NN, but it didn't seem all that different to me.

Firefox has revamped itself so it looks a lot like Chrome now. But it differs in the nuances. The last time I tried Chrome I didn't like the way the URL bar worked. When you type in a word in the URL bar in Firefox it searches through your history, bookmarks, bookmark tags etc. to suggest things. That's a feature I use a lot, and Chrome didn't have it. But then again that was a long time ago so maybe things have changed

Chrome does that for me.

Firefox also does its best to not give your info out unlike google and Microsoft who want every little bit they can get.

Unfortunately, much of corporate America still uses IE as their default browser, my company included. In fact, we have several web-based applications that were designed to be supported in IE and, although they often work in other browsers, we don't test or support the use of our applications in those browsers. It's pretty annoying. I only use IE for those specific things and Chrome for everything else.

Yeah there are some state tax sites that only work in IE that we have to use at work and ughh that's a pain and a half. Stupid IE

[Loony BoB]

IE is definitely still king in the workplace. Which leads me to be heavily concerned that a lot of the remaining murders that occur each year take place within the workplace.

Not a bad theory.

IE is the only browser that will open for the corpoeate side of NBC and MSG. Probably most of the networks do this. Unless they switch to a superior browser, it will still be needed.

Is this the real reason why you fled to China? You're facing jail and have been put on List 99 and the Sex Offenders Registry for life because of Internet Explorer, I mean damn... I thought your sister was pretty hot, did you have to murder her? Could you not have killed the dog and sexually assaulted her? Damaged goods and saviour complexes and all that jazz it could have worked man, it could have worked! You would've had so many reasons to call me... Brother

In work we have to use IE because of company policies and restrictions. They recently updated to IE11 because it's the "more secure option" I have to say, the whole "let us search your history, bookmarks, tags etc to suggest stuff" is in the program. It also runs with a much lighter system profile than Chrome does. I'm sorry to say Chromians, I think the king is dead and the jester's dancing wildly whilst ushering in the FireFox King.

[Internet Explorer™]

Wow. Uh, thanks for the welcome, EoFF.

[Internet Explorer™]

Seriously, what the hell? I gave you the best years of my life. I thought we had fun! You never had any complaints before those other guys made the scene. I mean, sure, maybe I had some performance issues every once in a while, but nothing a few more toolbars couldn't fix. Right?

[Internet Explorer™]

The murder rate may have declined with my use, but my sadness rate is skyrocketing right now.

Pretty sure, your little website was founded using me! You guys are jerks, I hate this place.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I love you guys. And this is a pretty neat little community you've brought together here.


See, I can be nice. How come you can't?
