Im sorry, internet explorer, hands down is the worst browser of all time. Why am I saying this, you ask? Internet Explorer, understands sh\*t code. IE is meant for coders that do not know how to code basicly. ---

Its not IE’s problem that standards can never be set. XML, CSS, even HTML has had some many quirks in it for years. Its hard to build a browser to understand each aspect of code that could be used. Get used to it, IE is the most popular browser hands down and probably will never be topped. ---

i would have been talking directly to you if i used “^^^” or if i quoted what you said i was simply stating what i believe. and Cnet is hardly a bs review. People are already used to programming based on IE standards…why do you think majority of the web exploits are targeting IE users. ---

I can’t stand IE either. It always seems to go much slower than FireFox no matter what computer I am on. I also don’t like it’s default toolbar layouts and tabs. The only time I use it is when I need to go on PennDOTs site for work because they require it. I think most people use IE is obviously because it comes on the computer in the first place. If given a choice from the beginning, I think a lot less people would use it. Also, once they are using it - they think 'why switch if it works?" +1 nerd post I guess ---

Yeah, IE sux. However, if you’re going to code, you’ve got to code for it, since it’s the most prevalent. :crying: ---

Get used to it, IE is the most popular browser hands down and probably will never be topped. yeah everybody knows what IE is because that’s the only one they know it might be the most popular hands down but Firefox is the best hands down. MF did things IE never thought of before. IE felt threatened and copied somethings MF did but MF still works faster and better than IE. ---

You made a stupid assumption (again)…which is par for the course from you: > um sry i don’t pretend i know more than everyone, **just because i could run circles around u mr. dumass** doesn’t mean u gotta come in and cry In light of this stupid assumption, I thought you might be curious to know what I do for a living. You probably don’t care- just keep pretending to be super leet because you have Linux on your home PC and know how to “configure” Best Buy firewalls, okay? Don’t let me rain on your parade. ---
