Internet Explorer

A simple tool included with Windows operating systems that allows the user to access Mozilla.com to download Firefox, a web browser.

I just got Firefox using Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer

Microsoft's attempt to dominate the Internet by integrating this poor excuse of a browser with every Windows OS, although this was deemed illegal, they made some bullshit up about it being a core part of Windows. So in the end, they integrated this POS into Windows.

IE is buggy, has many security holes, is slow, supports ActiveX so websites can install their XXX dialers on our systems, and finally, it's not standards compliant, so 80%+ web pages have sloppy HTML which doesn't work with standards compliant browsers, only IE. How convenient.

Internet Explorer is the most COMMON browser, but NOT the most popular.

4. Looks like junk
5. Easily exploitable
6. Infrequently updated
7. No pop up ad blocking
8. Highly inconvenient
...

237. It just plain sucks

About 60 seconds after he first opened it up on his new computer, Jimmy was finished using Internet Explorer - for 2-4 years.

Internet Explorer

The browser to use if you want a computer full of evil spyware.

I just love a slow browser. That's why I use Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer

A security-hole riddled, god-awful web browser bundled with Microsoft Windows. Alternatively known as Idiot Exploiter, it looks like complete crap compared to better, more secure browsers such as Mozilla Firefox.

Internet Explorer sucks.
