Internet Hobby

When using the internet becomes so much a part of your daily life IRL that you start forming preferences to the things you enjoy doing on the internet.

It is your new life, therefore it gets its own hobbies.
My Internet Hobby(s): Learning about food on wikipedia, watching videos of cute animals, reading fetish news and window-shopping on ebay.

Internet Explorer

1. The Microsoft Official Firefox Downloading Tool.
2. A slow failure of a web browser that takes bloody ages to load, randomly changes its homepage and installs adware, gives you constant pointless message boxes with content that is super obvious and unneeded, and is therefore useless for anything but navigating to Mozilla.com and downloading Mozilla Firefox.
3. Microsoft's web browser, with amazing features such as automatic spyware downloading, adaptive security holes, optimized brutally low speed, and amazingly obvious message boxes.
When I got my new DELL, I opened the Internet Explorer: Firefox Downloaded a copy of the latest Mozilla Firefox.

Internet Tourettes

A person with Internet Tourettes is characterized by an uncontrollable urge to blurt out random messages in the form of a comment, an image, a gif, or a video.
Whether or not these messages are appropriate in any sort of context is up to said person.

Generally, this term can be applied to a wide array of people, but in most cases, it can be boiled down to two distinct types:
1. A shitposter who replies in an exaggerated way to a post for the sake of comedy.
2. A crazy person who immediately derails an otherwise normal conversation with utter nonsense for no (obvious) reason.
1. "We can't ever have a normal group chat, because every time Tom posts anything serious, George comes in with his Internet Tourettes and spams shitposts that have no relation to the conversation."

2. "Whenever I post a cute cat picture on Facebook, my friend with Internet Tourettes just HAS to chime in with conspiracy theories about the moon landing."

internet explorer

Internet Explorer was one of the most widely used web browsers, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003. This came after Microsoft used bundling to win the first browser war against Netscape, which was the dominant browser in the 1990s. Its usage share has since declined with the launch of Firefox and Google Chrome, and with the growing popularity of operating systems such as macOS, Linux, iOS and Android that do not run Internet Explorer. Estimates for Internet Explorer's overall market share range from 5.45% to 27.38% or by StatCounter's numbers ranked 3rd, just after Firefox (or even as low as 6th when counting all platforms, after Opera (and behind Safari), as of August 2016. Microsoft spent over US$100 million per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s, with over 1,000 people working on it by 1999.
On March 17, 2015, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Edge will replace Internet Explorer as the default browser on its Windows 10 devices. This effectively makes Internet Explorer 11 the last release. Internet Explorer will, however, remain on some versions of Windows 10 primarily for enterprise purposes. Starting January 12, 2016, only Internet Explorer 11 is supported with more security than older versions, according to Microsoft. Support varies based on the operating system's technical capabilities and its support lifecycle.
When I factory reset my windows XP machine, I downloaded Google Chrome with Internet Explorer. That's the only good use of this slow-as-hell browser.
