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.

internet stoned

When you've used the Internet so long, you're beginning to appear to be stoned. Similar to internet coma, except not nearly as serious and you don't need permanent termination of Internet usage, just a quick nap and you'll be fine for the next slug. Notice symptoms:

-Slack-jaw-ness.
-Inability to concentrate.
-Ruined memory.
-Insanity (oh wait we all have that).

Random d00d #1: Did you hear about Derek the other night? Man, was he Internet Stoned!
Random d00d #2: Wha happen?
Random d00d #1: Oh wait you're Derek #&*($&$*(#$&(FUCK

Jenny: Dude, you're totally Internet stoned.
Derek: Huhr?
Jenny: It's like an internet coma except you're only a quarter dead, not all dead.
Derek: Thash nice. Remind me to go to Jenny's house when I wake up. crashes
Jenny: *looks at watch* Great. That's the last blind date I'll ever have.

Internet Troll

Internet Trolls are jobless, unloved human beings, they try to rile up people on the internet just to gain attention thinking getting the attention from internet users will make up for the lack of attention they got during their upbringing.

That’s a Internet Troll, ignore them.

internet conquistador

Someone who tries to be the first person in their social circle to discover and share links, images, articles, etc. from the web, in an attempt to look knowledgeable or cutting-edge.

Steve think he's such an internet conquistador for posting that link to a knitted Darth Vader cat costume on Facebook, but I totally saw it in my Craftzine.com RSS feed last week.
