Oh Internet Exploder, why won't people quit you?

I still use it for some sites or when I'm too lazy to wait for my other browsers to spend 30 minutes reloading all my fucking windows and tabs from last session when I just need something quick...and then I continue to use it b/c to reload my other browers will tie up my ram for a while.

It's an evil cycle.

I only really use it to find out if something's f'ing up because of Firefox or if it's a server or ISP issue.

I actually deleted all shortcuts to it a while back when I was still on Vista, I hated it so much, lol.

I alternate between Firefox and Opera in those cases.

Why do people still use IE?

After killing the latest virus on my mom's computer, I banned her from using it and put on Chrome instead.

Software development firms kinda have to have and use EVERY browser out there, to make sure their stuff is compatible

[akuma_river]

Chrome can be a bitch too.

I have a friend who uses it on her work laptop because the company she works for has some agreement with Microsoft or somesuch. I dunno, sometimes you just have to, whether you like it or not. =\

Internet Exploder...

People still use that steaming pile of turds???

[screamingintune]

lol, even my technologically-impaired mother uses Firefox. Seriously, IE is so slow and obnoxious.

Firefox FTW.
