Works the best with my plugins, doesn't mem leak like FF, and doesn't crash randomly like Chrome.


I <3 IE. It's been with me for a long time. I can look past the blemishes and see the 'inner beauty'

FF unless a site absolutely won't work in anything but IE

There's no inner beauty to IE. It really is a pile of worthless software and other browsers can do everything it can do but better.

Everyone says that. And I've used every browser on every platform and I still like IE the best.

Mostly for compatibility. So many "ou need IE8+ to run this".


I don't hate MS that much that I'm willing to go find work arounds and plugins or avoid content because "IE sucks"

There aren't many sites that require IE anymore, as in it's extremely rare these days. Any that do are dysfunctional in nature for requiring the worst mainstream browser and will fail or change. It seems like you're going by an experience you had from years ago and just need to break a bad habit (IE) now that things are different.

IE's development progress mainly consists of copying Firefox features that people don't want to browse without, way too late and usually in a more sluggish and bloated way. If not for being preinstalled with Windows and required for employees of businesses lost in the stone age, nobody would use it.

I was going to tell you the same thing. The new IE has been stable, fast, doesn't mem leak, design feels good to me, and our remote work application doesn't crater on IE like it does on FF or Chrome.


But the biggest IE plus for me is lots of video streaming sites from Europe require IE. So IE

IE, FF & Chrome. They each have their own up and down side. For most of my day to day it is Chrome though. The others are for certain sites or for testing or so I can run different sessions at once of certain sites.
