I can't see a difference between ie, firefox and Chrome. |
| Jana Wang | 11 Jun 2012 11:20 a.m. PST |
Well, with Firefox and Chrome I can negate the ads and pop-ups. |

v5 and 6 were both very deserving of the "Internet Exploder" nickname, as I recall. |

Internet Explorer is behind in supporting updates to HTML, so some things might not appear as intended. It also has a history of security vulnerabilities. |

I like Firefox's built in spell-check; and since I have to use IE at work in a controlled environment where I can't install add-ins the absence is particularly annoying. Some of the apps I have to use on it have problems because IE's scripting environment leaks memory like a sieve; I just restart the fool thing every day, but I should not have to. |

Built in spell check for starters… |

I don't "hate" computer programs. Chrome, Safari, and Firefox are just better browsers. |

IE is a main target for many of the security exploits and viruses simply because it is integrated with the XP operating system. |

I don't hate ie, I just get very irate when people type it when they mean eg…. |

You mean like:
"There are many other terrific browsers out there, e.g., "Firefox, Chrome, and Safari" |
| richarDISNEY | 11 Jun 2012 2:12 p.m. PST |
Never really had any issues with it.
But I do use FF regularly.

When I first used the Internet Netscape was the de-facto browser. Then Microsoft placed IE on all machines forcing Netscape out of the market. Using IE in the past led to websites not being displayed properly as they didn't follow standard web conventions. The came along Phoenix which became Firebird and is now Firefox. They followed web standards but then brought new innovations along to browsers (tabbed browsing and extensions to name a couple). They worked better than IE and were faster. Chrome has continued this and now has the fastest mainstream browser. It is now my browser of choice at home, unfortunately at work I am forced to use IE and still do not rate it. |

For my work, I buy cars at online auctions. It takes considerably longer to open a website on IE than on either Firefox or Chrome. Mike |

Irritated at IE due to frequent crashes and freezes. Downloads are often slower. I use Firefox and as others have said I like the way I can customize various apps. |

If you had to do significant web development then you'd soon learn to hate IE. For normal users the latest versions aren't too bad and I think a lot of the hate is residual from IE6 which wasn't updated for years and was miles behind the competion in both features (e.g. tabbed browsing) and standards compliance. |
| Austin Rob | 12 Jun 2012 7:46 a.m. PST |
Speed. IE is much slower in my experience. |

I can actually edit Google Docs in FF, IE just struggles…. it does however work much better with lots of business applications like SAP. I guess IE has problems with Ajax. |
| Lentulus | 12 Jun 2012 11:10 a.m. PST |
it does however work much better with lots of business applications like SAP. That's because the first restriction they book on developers for business apps is "must work on IE"; I don't do that work myself by I expect it involves a considerable cost. |
