A disparaging term for
Internet Explorer, especially given its higher propensity towards a slow computer/webpage experience, increased chances of malware or even toolbar infestations, and even in some cases, a bad layout since there are certain web designers that stopped bothering to design for IE
compatibility. Thus, anybody who willingly uses IE despite MUCH better alternatives being
installed on the computer is an idiot, hence "Idiot Explorer".
Gus (calling): Hey, I was
trying to open
this website and it keeps freezing, and there's 5 toolbars and every site I opened seems to have a popup. What's going on?
Me: Gus, for Pete's sake... How many times have I told you to stop using Idiot
Explorer?
