Fellow web designers will know what I mean by internet explorer being evil, it is like the sibling that always broke parts off your toys when you where children. It's not like this browser is great for the user's either, the program seems as fast as a moped at best...

But Moped's can be cooler...

Duh duh duh d-d-duh d-d-duh..


Microsoft over the years have kept to making internet explorer disagree with every other web browser and keep things different. Now this wouldn't be so bad if web developers didn't have to add special pieces of code just to make the website compatible with internet explorer.

To make matters worse Internet Explorer is the default installed browser on all windows machines, so people keep using the browser because it's the first or only one they have.

We must revolt against this awful browser, I suggest we storm up to Microsoft with picket signs and if that doesn't get their attention we all strip down in the parking lot. It may not make them remove the browser but it will definitely make going home awkward.

(This post is not 100% serious, but Internet Explorer is a serious pain in the butt)

I don't even support IE on my sites, if it detects that you are running it, my site will tell you to use Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or Others.

Well considering Microsoft has completely reworked it and the browser is decent.
(and called Microsoft Edge)

I can understand the issues with IE but now they're obsolete

Ah but them having edge doesn't really fix it as many many many people still have a default browser of IE so web developers still need to make websites compatible.

Although the speed on edge is certainly way better

At least they care and ask if you want to send error reports
