Get yourself a browser... please.

If you want to keep developers in good health plase download some serious browsers

If you have ever worked on a design or a particular cool feature for your web application and all went well people loved it and even your boss loved it. All to find out the ##*@@ IE, dosen't work the way you expect. Knowing myself well I wouldn't even bother. However we live in a strange world where inspite of the best avilable browsers being free, we still use IE.

Top reasons For using MSIE

For refferences:

Why You Should Dump Internet Explorer? http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2004/06/15/why-you-should-dump-internet-explorer/

Still not convinced? Here are couple of reasons you might like to know:

  • Having an obsolete browser laying around is a waste of hard drive space
  • Despite what Bill claims, it's not really free. Each installed copy of IE costs exactly one soul.
  • IE has more bugs than a bait store!
  • Just opening it automatically signs you up for the security hole of the week club.
  • It can send your personal information to Microsoft.
  • Firefox is way cooler.
  • Microsoft wrote it. Do you really need another reason?
  • It scares young children.
  • It's proprietary; they don't want you to know what's in it. Mozilla / Firefox's source code can be downloaded for free.
  • IE is "integrated" in to Windows. Firefox is a well behaved application. When IE crashes or screws up it can hose the system. No other browser can do that.
  • ActiveX allows hackers to do ANYTHING with your system. That's not true with Java.
  • Microsoft's Java is not compatible with standard Java and vice versa.
  • Who in their right mind would want to view their hard drive as a $#%#@ web page?!
  • Yes, we all want advertising on our desktops don't we? Nuke the channel bar.
  • It has been rumored that IE can cause modems to explode.
  • IE has been proven to cause cancer in lab animals.
  • Do you really understand the IE license in legal terms? You are now Bill's towel boy.
  • The web is based on open standards. Open standards are incompatible with Internet Explorer, or any Microsoft product for that matter.
  • If you care at all about the data on your hard drive you won't open IE.
  • Microsoft forces people to install and use it through bundling and unnecessary integration. If it were really any good do you think they would have to do that?
  • IE's full name, MSIE is pronounced "messy". Do you really want to be a "messy" user?
  • Because "Everyone is doing it". That is the wrong reason to do anything.
  • Because only a couple of the entries in this list are jokes. The rest are TRUE.
  • Mozilla / Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konquer, and Netscape are light-years better, have newer releases, and are more up to date than IE.
  • Netscape has a cool mascot, Mozilla. Microsoft has Evie the Evil "e".
  • At various points IE identifies itself as being "Mozilla" compatible. Why use a bad clone when you can use the real thing instead?
  • Because if a huge multi billion-dollar corporation can't keep spyware and viruses from infecting their browser, but a bunch of open source "hippies" can, then there is something seriously wrong.
  • If 98lite can actually make money off of a program that uninstalls Internet Explorer, then there is something seriously wrong with IE.
  • Every time you open IE you get a big whiff of 1998 (peuey!).
