Comments for Internet Explorer 8 - most common web browser, now much better at http://firefoxopera.com , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://firefoxopera.com Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:42:51 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://firefoxopera.com/internet-explorer#comment-93 Believe me or not IE is still the safest browser of all, ask the hacker to hack 5 different browsers, it will take 1 hour to hack IE but others will be hacked within 20 mins. So please stop fooling people that other browsers are better.

Remember, there is IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, IE 6 quirks mode, IE 7 quirks-mode-for-6, IE 7 quirks-mode-for-7, IE 8 quirks-mode-for-6, IE 8 quirks-mode-for-7, and IE 8 quirks-mode-for-8. And that's ignoring any IE earlier than 6. Sure, there aren't a lot of differences between the various quirks modes, but there are enough that you have to code for them. With Opera, Firefox, Safari, etc., you can at least write your code to avoid quirks mode; that's not possible with IE 7+, since a user, a network admin, or Microsoft itself can label your site as "quirky," and you're stuck. Good bye, layout. Then again, if I write for Firefox with Opera and Safari in mind... I only code once. I don't hate IE; it's gotten a lot better, and 8 is actually a decent browser. I just hate to code for 10 different browsers, all called "IE." - Arman Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:31:31 +0100 http://firefoxopera.com/internet-explorer#comment-55 IE rapes your site! - ouasdlc Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:40:19 +0100 http://firefoxopera.com/internet-explorer#comment-54 I have built my website for Firefox displays but made it descent looking for IE. Time consuming yes, but I feel its worth the exposure to the general public that has IE. - gcarter Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:23:48 +0100 http://firefoxopera.com/internet-explorer#comment-53 If you built a web application for IE, then went back and fixed it for Firefox and other browsers, you wouldn't have so much trouble. Please still use IE because it's pre-loaded onto the machine and most people don't care about how a website displays or how tricky the coding is with IE, as along as it displays. If you were smart, you would know that and start with building for the masses (which is more lucrative I might add) and then build for the minority later. - Lux Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:38:23 +0100 http://firefoxopera.com/internet-explorer#comment-15 Am I a Internet Explorer hater; No, but close. Consider This: If you have ever worked on a design or a particular cool feature for your web application and all went well people loved it and even your boss loved it. All to find out the ##*@@ IE, dosen’t work the way you expect. Knowing myself well I wouldn’t even bother. However we live in a strange world where inspite of the best avilable browsers being free, we still use IE. I am a big fan of Firefox, yes Opera and Safari are also really great. Now comes the tricky part I can respect anyone using anyone of the listed browser above but, Why still people use IE. It just escapes me. I request all of you to please download you fav browser and use it instead of the Stupid, Unresponsive, Technical Blunder, and Arrogant IE. - chirax Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:35:25 +0100 http://firefoxopera.com/internet-explorer#comment-14 The reason web developers design sites to be viewable in IE is that right now IE still holds the most users but this is quickly changing, everyday IE loses users to other browsers and rightfully so. The main reason many speak of IE as insecure is that when a cracker/hacker makes a new virus they want to affect as many people as possible and since IE has the most users, you do the maths... Then of course there's the fact that Microsoft don't release updates as often as they should to counter the threats. Of course this is just my thoughts and feelings, I could be wrong...

I think IE is just as much secure as anybody else. All webbdesigners is making websites to fit in IE so never visit a site which is not working.
