Are You Still Using Internet Explorer?


Mon, 3rd March, 2008 - Posted by Marenda


I stopped using Internet Explorer a long time ago.

IESUCKSWith Internet Explorer my computer would freeze up, even with my fast internet connection pages took long to load, I was getting pop ups even with the pop up blocker on, my computer was constantly being bombarded with spyware, and going online was a hassle.

Does any of this sound familiar?

I thought it was my computer until I figured out it was actually Internet Explorer!
Turns out…Internet Explorer has security issues that hackers exploit and use to wreak havoc (maybe that’s why your computer is acting crazy). Internet Explorer put my desktop PC on the injured reserve list. I won’t even touch it any more. I downloaded and installed Firefox for free on my PC and Mac laptops. It took me about 5 minutes and has saved me hours of frustration.

Firefox Why anyone would continue to use Internet Explorer when they can get Firefox for free is beyond me. I say give it a try you have nothing to lose. It’s free, easy, and more importantly better than Internet Explorer. Why use a mediocre troublesome web browser when you have access to the best?

I know for some of my friends, switching from Internet Explorer is like changing phone service. They are so use to and loyal to AT&T that going with another provider is unfathomable. Guess what folks… Internet Explorer sucks and its time for change. If you’re paying for internet access every month you might as well access it with the best and most secure web browser.

Its funny how changing our thinking affects so many areas of our lives even down to how we surf the internet.

Personally I use both on a daily basis. I couldn’t live without IE or FF. Firefox is unbeatable for web development since it has so many awesome plugins and tools.

I still us IE, it does freeze up though. Maybe I should try FF?

Firefox all the way. It is much more flexible, you have so many addons, plugins and themes, improving with every version.

I just switched from IE to Firefox. Big difference. Less popups (even though someone told me there would be zero popups) and faster page access. I’ve been holding off on switching but when I upgraded my computer I just tried it out. Glad I did.

Internet Explorer has many bugs and issues that never been solved. It always crashes when I use it. Once I switched to Mozilla, browser surfing was a smooth road. NOT LIKE INTERNET EXPLORER WHICH WAS A ROAD TO THAT ENDS WITH A CLIFF.

Firefox is better than others.
