I'm feeling sad to IE for being hated. It's my favorite browser and just works perfect. Stable, secure and fast. And since I'm a developer do I hear everyday people hating IE and calling me crazy for using it. If I go against them then they argue with me and others join making me defend alone. Now I just plain ignore them and use a browser I love and can develop with good. PS: I'm the only one of the developers who I know who can make a site work good in IE. I even few sitess which refused to work proper on Firefox and Chrome but perfect on IE. Why? IE is stable and doesn't franken fix HTML/CSS mistakes you make or makes her own suggestions.
Yeah, I just think anarchist up there is on his period. I love the IE haters that absolutely MUST have Win8.1 RTM the 'second' it's released. LMAO! Go get a Chromebook or iCrap ya weenie!
Not a developer but I have made a few sites for people before. I always make sure my HTML and CSS validate in WC3 and I don't think I have ever had problems in IE8 or above. Chrome and Firefox can however decide to render some CSS slightly differnt from eachother but it's barely noticable.
I'm actually a web developer and have FAR less problems with IE than Chrome, Firefox and Safari. IE is also WAY more secure, but these IE haters haven't gotten laid in about 5 years and are still holding on to the old IE7 from way back then. LOL
I don't know, but my previous experience with IE is that when I visit some site it doesn't block pop-up ads. Does IE already block pop-up ads as well as block malicious websites?
Seeing you must have lived in the shadows your whole life, go ask a real web developer how complicating it is to program a site for IE. You must love sitting at you desk making sure a website can be rendered all the way back to IE6. Little code ever changes with browsers that use Webkit or Gecko which is why they are easier to develop on. IE is also the most vulnerable to hijacking and spoof plugins. Don't you n00bs know anything? It seems like I'm teaching computers for dummies here so go scurry along and go program on your Dell Dimension with Windows 2000 and leave the web programing to the big boys
If you still support IE below 8, then yes, IE is crap to deal with. But IE8+ have gotten much better, and are really usable nowadays.
Not everyone uses IE8+ though, that's the problem. IE6 is still the most widely used next to IE 8 because of people sticking with Windows XP and not updating their systems. That's the downfall of IE. You always have to go a step backwards.
Yeah, there is no reason to support below IE8. If companies still use XP and IE7 or bellow then it's their own fault for using ancient outdated software. There really is no reason not to upgrade to Windows 7 right now. If the hardware can't take it then that hardware should be replaced anyways since Windows 7 runs great even on Athlon 64 chips.
Upgrading = $$$ spent. Corporations don't want to upgrade to the latest and greatest if what they're using works. There are companies out there that use Windows XP or 2000 with Office XP - 2003. You know why? Because it works.
