Just Say No to Internet Explorer

by UnknownMami on February 27, 2012

I try to keep things positive around here, but every once in awhile I let myself rant. Today I’m ranting about Internet Explorer. That browser drives me crazy and likes to make my online life harder than it needs to be. I broke up with IE a long time ago and good riddance, I say. Still so many people still use it that I can not be completely free of it. I use it at work and I use it to check that this blog is working appropriately for those of you still on IE. I say “still” because my hope is that someday you will explore your browsing options and move on.

This is not my actual rant, my anti-IE-rant is at Aiming Low. Please stop by and give it a read. I am not a techie by any means, but I don’t think you need to be a techie to see the flaws in IE.

    I know, it drives me nuts that I have to keep the blasted thing on my machine because once every two years there’s going to be something I actually need to open – like a have to thing – and I’m going to need to have IE to do it.

    Drove me loca for months until computer master son suggested Firefox and Google Chrome. Settled on GC.

    Does anyone use Nadscrape anymore? I mean Netscape?  I have IE that I use when Firefox won’t open certain pages.  I have no idea why Firefox won’t work on certain pages.  Especially commenting.  Drives me bonkers that I have to use IE.

    I agree!  I love Chrome and really don’t know why I didn’t switch over long ago.

    This is a Mac only household and we all use Safari, and very occasionally Firefox.

      Browser-wise you can use Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome.

      Anything is better than IE.

    Internet Explorer is like Myspace to me, I have it by why would I ever use it?

    I use Safari. Have any issues with it at all.

    I much prefer Google Chrome, but IE has to stay just in case I may need it. :(

      That’s how I use IE. It’s on my computer, but only for times when I can’t avoid it or to check how my blog looks on it.
