Internet Explorer
« on: February 09, 2013, 05:33:47 pm »
Every time I log in, in browser, it shows "It looks like you're using Internet Explorer, the worst browser on the web. Why not switch to a real browser, such as Safari, Google Chrome, or Firefox?" What do you have against Internet Explorer  >:(
P.S My internet explorer is the fastest out of Google Chrome and Firefox, which I've tried both before. It just depends on the version lol.
Also, for a funny picture :P

Sorry about that! But Internet Explorer does pose a great security risk to your computer, and we would like our users to be safe and secure. :)

IE (IE9 and newer) is fine. Chrome (Chromium) and Firefox are better open source alternatives though. At least in the browser market open source software does dominate.  :)

I agree, extremely dangerous.  Personally, I wouldn't use that browser with an enemy's computer. :]

Also, it doesn't play nice.  When building pages, I do launch it because you have to constantly adjust things just so the IE users will see it correctly.

I quit using the IE back in 2000, and never looked back.  Firefox all the way. :)

Ahh I see your problem, you're using Internet Explorer :P I'm kidding, but no really I'd use a different browser instantly. I got so many viruses through IE and it was a huge relief when I switched to chrome.

P.S: If you have Java enabled on your browser (especially if it runs applets without your consent, and on any browser) it's just as large (if not even larger) of a security risk as using IE.

Pfft. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome... None of those can hold a candle to Netscape Navigator.

I do believe this is also true using a client that uses Java.  Just stay up on all the reports, and keep Java updated.  Also, keep your computer up-to-date, and your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.

It really helps the owners of any site, if as individuals, we keep our own computers safe and secure.
