Short definition: dog crap sandwich
Long definition: The worst quality browser ever, this browser reeks of ass. Released on August 27th, 2001, it had little competition at first, and though it sucked, it (and other IE versions) gained a 95% market share around 2003. IE very nearly held a virtual monopoly by forcing it into every operating system, as well as the fact that in 2003 Netscape was long dead and Firefox had yet to be released, leaving just a few little known browsers. In 2004 Firefox rose up and started pissing on Internet Explorer 6's market share as people switched to the new, well engineered browser. By 2006 avid Internet users had switched to Firefox, and IE 6 was replaced by the slightly less crap Internet Explorer 7.
It was the most bug ridden Internet Explorer. Only a couple of years after IE7 superceded it, websites are dropping IE6 support. It had numerous security issues and had trouble displaying many web sites. One line of code can make it crash and anti-IE6 campaigns have been launched.

Get the internet explorer 6 mug.A complete firefox rip-off, except that it's laggy, buggy, vulnerable to hackers and fail to apply web standard. and oh yes, it completely sucks.
Frankly it's just the ie6 engine with a fancy new GUI.

Get the Internet Explorer 7 mug.The title of the most annoying page on Internet Explorer. Formerly known as "This page cannot be displayed".
My sister needs to stop using her computer while I am using mine because when we try to use the internet at the same time, the internet disconnects and I would get a stupid error message that reads "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" instead of the page I tried to go to.

Get the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage mug.The latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. It was actually pretty decent when it first released, but is now unusable due to Microsoft dropping support for it.
If you still use IE11, stop. Download a modern browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.

Get the Internet Explorer 11 mug.A good web browser, which is faster than Firefox and has some nice, but basic features. It lacks the add-on support of Firefox and Chrome. It usually gets panned without using by noobs due to their bad experiences with crappy, older versions.
Person 1: Dude, you're using Internet Explorer 9? You fag!
Person 2: It's pretty good. Have you tried it?
Person 1: I tried version 6! Does that count?
Person 2: NO.
