You Are Probably Not Using Internet Explorer to Read This

I use Chrome. And it's awesome. Sorry to hear IE is going down the tubes. But that's how Capitalism works.
I switch from Chrome and IE9. I've never really liked Firefox, can't give a good reason why though :S
Pretty much this. And besides, Firefox has those awesomely named toolbars that you can customize, and perhaps make as an ironic statement.drbarno said:
Personally, I am using the SRWare Iron [http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php] version of Chrome. All the benefits of the browser without the invasion of privacy on Google's part.
Anyway, unlike most people, I don't think too poorly of Internet Explorer (at least of the post-6 versions; 6 was horrible, though). That said, it's not adapting fast enough to the changing browser market, so it's little wonder that it has lost quite a lot of marketshare.
Personally, I used IE for a long time, since I didn't like how bloated Firefox was (although it is a good browser). But once Chrome was released, with it's minimalistic and friendly UI and high speed, I finally decided to jump ship and I haven't looked back since.

I don't understand why INTERNET BROWSERS of all things have fan followings and hate wars. I use IE. It works for me. Why do people keep giving me shit about it?
I am NOT using Chrome or Safari, since I avoid giving dangerously large, control companies free money or attention.

There's so many security holes in IE that it's like dealing with swiss cheese. It's slow and cumbersome compared to some browsers that will actually speed your computer and internet up (Firefox and Opera(Talking about Opera Turbo, which does work.)) IE is prone to random crashes and, as a browser, it's barely passable in Java and Flash departments. Have you -seen- how low of a mark IE gets in the Acid3 browser test? It's dismal. Firefox is good for reliability. Every site out there will know about Firefox and support it. It's way faster than IE and a lot safer, too. Opera is a lot safer and faster than Firefox, but it's not as well-known - hell, it wasn't even mentioned in the article - and so there are a few sites that won't run with Opera. I've only found one, though. It was my Pre-Cal's MyMathLab class.JoJoDeathunter said:
Does that help you a little bit in understanding why it gets its flak?
Well 50%ish is still good if you consider it is compeating with 3+ web browsers. You cannot complain about the morgority.
Then use Firefox, and stop giving a dangerously large, controlling company free money and attention.PrototypeC said:
