Guess I'm one of the few that use IE, with plugins and never have issues.. Always has been fast enough for me. Specially with quad cores now the normal.
 
OMG I am sick of this anti IE sluts.
Why do You post here if You don't care about IE??
I only use IE and now IE11 really kick A**!!
 


Cool story bro!
 
I certainly wouldn't praise the likes of Safari, Chrome, Firefox or any other browser as being problem free. Each browser has it's issues, but at least with Internet Explorer, we get a sizeable window of time in which we know what to expect from reasonably polished software. Firefox seems to break something with every other release, and need constant, major version changes, while Chrome is going to toss features because Google feels like it. Apple's browser doesn't even ping my radar. I like and use IE on a regular basis and only when it fails to do something correctly do I need to turn to other browsers.
 


IE11 is actually a very good browser. Its fast and it links in with MSE so it works out to be very secure.

Add in the TPL lists that can be used to block adds without having to have an add-on and its not a bad browser.

Firefox was a great browser but overall its not as good as it use to be.

Chrome tracks the crap out of you and I hate that.

And Safari? A browser proven to be the most insecure browser?

Sorry but IE has actually become a good browser.
 
Let me guess... just like IE10 for Win7.... it is "for" Windows7, but the stupid browser is skinned for Windows 8. Really really.... unprofessional. frankly its very sloppy work.
 
Meh, around IE7, I stopped using it because it was bad. Switched to Mozilla, then switched to Chrome, LOVED Chrome for several years, and then one day I reformatted and I had some odd bug where I would hit the executable for Chrome and nothing would happen. I tried IE10, my backup, and it wasn't bad, so I kept using it... With IE11, it has pretty much matched Chrome at its high point. At this point, unless Chrome does something special, it's my backup browser.

Many of the people who complain about IE haven't used it for years. IE10 was competitive, IE11 is possibly the best browser on the market at the moment. My girlfriend uses Firefox, Chrome is my backup, and I prefer IE11. If you haven't touched IE in a few years, give it a try - it ain't the clunky, crash ridden piece of junk that IE was up until 10. Though, if your current browser is working for you, why change? I didn't until Chrome became temporarily unusable. Just be glad that there is another good alternative when you need it.
 
Most IT profession don't despise IE, they mostly look at each browser from a neutral point of view. It's idiotic to say a browser sucks just because everyone else say so.
Maybe they want to be accepted in to inner "cool" circle or something?
 
LOL.. its all very fashionable and "cool" to mock IE..
But its a decent browser and since it standard .. I am quite happy for it to be my default browser.
(I do have a second browser installed to check if any issues are browser related. and most issues I see in IE are also experienced in my alt browser).
 


Another will be RealPlayer.
 
There is a lot of praise for IE. Personally, IE 6 - 8 kinda irreparably ruined IE for me. I think IE 9 was meh. I mean it was a huge step forward for IE, but still behind the curb compared to other browsers. I don't really have issues with Firefox at all, except when my script blocking plug in breaks some site, but that's to be expected. Chrome is nice, but I run into the same issues with script blocking. Plus I start trusting Google less and less everyday (particularly with my data), so I use that pretty sparingly. I keep IE around as fall-back/compatibility, especially considering some sites are designed exclusively for IE, so it's nice to know there is some improvement coming to Windows 7. I loathed the days of IE 6, where merely opening the browser would result in instantaneous virus infection.
