internet explorer 6 

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 Only a couple of years after IE7 superceded it, websites are dropping IE6 support.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.
A pile of piss makes a better browser than Internet Explorer 6.

Words you can keep

internet explorer 

A simple Windows XP tool which allows the user to browse to Mozilla.com and download Firefox, a web browser.

internet explorer bug 

One of 2 possibilities:

1) A security hole in IE that leaves the user open to viruses and spyware.

2) A bug in the way the hopeless browser renders a webpage when every other browser displays it correctly
Web designer 1: Man, what's happened to my page? It looked great when I designed it in Firefox

Web designer 2: Dude, that's an internet explorer bug again. Why do people even use this pile of rubbish anymore. *Sighs*

internet explorer 

Microsoft's pre-installed, default internet browser for Windows. Has to be the worst browser on earth, because its only features are free viruses, automatic spyware downloads, and awesome security holes.

The best part about Internet Explorer is that it forced companies, such as Mozilla and Opera, to make their own browsers, which completely and utterly blow Internet Explorer out of the water.

Download Opera/Mozilla plz.

Internet Explorer 8 

The newest edition of the world's worst internet browser- Internet Explorer

A.K.A. IE 8

Fortunately, it has not been released yet,(true on 03 May 2009), featuring the latest round of security holes. The only people that will use this crappy program will be:

- People that have never used a computer
- People that are working on a computer at work, school/ other organization who cannot escape this program due to software restrictions.

This program is so bad, that Microsoft (the horrid mother of this program) are planning to force this piece of useless software into people's computers via auto-update.*

Features include:
- No support
- Automated crashes
- Sudden Lags
- Stolen Features
- FREE YES FREE, default viruses
- Included bonus: Allows credit card details to be stolen!
- Takes longer to load google.com then the average American child (weighing 300lb) takes to run 400 meters.
- A gateway for hackers

To escape this hellhole, simply Google "Mozilla Firefox", though you are fucked, if there is a software restriction thingy-majig.

The vast numbers of people who use this program to acquire Mozilla Firefox means that Microsoft may even consider to block Mozila.com, banishing the user to a lifetime of Mozilla Firefox.

FACT: It's ugly sister, Internet Explorer 6, is the #1 cause of Angry German Kid.

Footnote
* Though it has not been released yet, we know it will be crap, because it is genetically shit, as we have seen in the previous internet explorers.
(Note, these examples aren't that good)

Person 1: ARRGGGHHH FUCK! Internet Explorer 8 just got me these porn pop-ups, and my mum came in the room, and saw one of the pop-ups!
Person 2: Dude, have you not heard of Mozilla Firefox?

*

Person 3: NOOOO! My computer just got Internet Explorer 8!
Person 4 (Mozilla user): Don't you use Firefox?
Person 3: It does it automatically!
Person 4: (Sees IE 8 being downloaded) SHIT! (computer begins to lag)
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
