pretty much sums it up actually

one word : dIE

 

[Bretty]

I use EI....

and Firefox (every now and then).

It feels great to be in the majority.

Coming to you from a satisfyingly high speed (although not immune to connection problems!) from Google Chrome!

I only use IE on college computers because it's the only installed browser on them.

I spit on that programme from my shiny Chrome heights! lol

Firefox ftw

Funnily enough I was using IE to read this, as I am on my uni's library computer, but it's been so bad I've personally downloaded firefox and installed and I am using it right now.

Explorer was only used by 49.9 percent of users in the month of September, according to StatCounter.

...and that was only so they could download a better browser.

I've been using Netscape since around 2004 or so, then switched to Firefox a year or so after that. I played around with Google Chrome for a bit, but Firefox always won out. I love how many add-ons and skins I can get, it's great.

 

[General Torg]

Firefox forever

Oddly enough, I love IE because FireFox don't be good to me.

I use Google Chrome for most of my browsing needs. Every once in a while I'm forced to use Internet Explorer, but if I could go without it completely I would uninstall it in a heartbeat.

Im using IE, gets the job done, not sure why people think other browsers are so muc better

Screw them. They lost all sympathy after the whole mid-90s Netscape debacle.

*Was born in mid-90s*
What happened?

OT: I'm on Firefox, mostly because it handles tabs so well. Add-ons don't hurt, either.

Microsoft caught wind of Netscape (who, at the time, was letting individual users DL their browser for nothing and charging businesses a licensing fee) they tried to run them into the ground by releasing IE free with a Windows '95 add on pack.

In the end, it bit them in the ass because it lead to the '98 Microsoft Anti-Trust Case and they basically got in trouble over abusing their monopoly on operating systems to unfairly cut off Netscape (since they were the dominant OS company at the time, people basically had to use their bundled software, as I understand it, including IE, giving them an unfair advantage).

All's fair in love and business I suppose.

I want to know how it's slow. Everyone says that but everything loads near-insantly for me >.>

 

[arcade109]

Ummm..... I am

 

[Varewulf]

I use Opera personally, and I kinda wish more people did. ^^; Things are improving, but since some sites don't offer that great support for everything, I have on occasion had to use IE for stuff... like downloading drivers from asus.com. And yes, I know it could all be fixed if I use (abuse?) the fox. But I don't want to. I like Opera. Being a Norwegian nationalist, how can I not?

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

I'm using IE.

There are features I like about IE, and others I like about Firefox. **shrug**

 

[CyberSkull]

The only time I use IE is when I have to update Windows for a client or more importantly, to download a better browser.

 

[Giest4life]

Using Chrome; rarely do I use Internet Explorer or Firefox, only perhaps when I need to something for school is when I switch from Chrome.

49.9 actually surprises me..

This.. why use it? It's unsafe.. and.. well unsafe..
I used internet explorer once on my new PC. To download Firefox.
