Posted May 3, 2014 use chrome Firefox Nightly with some changed dev settings is much faster than chrome, the only down side is if some process in the browser important crashes you need to restart the browser.

Posted May 3, 2014 IE is bad and always will be. IE became bad as soon as M$ decided to ditch the industry standards for html and how the browser uses it. This is why all web developers hate IE as they have to write custom code just for IE and its "specialness".

Posted May 3, 2014 No web browser is secure, however, every web browser do their best to be the most secure as possible. The only problem that IE has, is that every couple of versions, to get the latest and greatest version, you need to upgrade Windows. So if you are the type that does that in any case, then great! no problem. If you rely sticking with old trusty OS that you got accustom too, (example: stick with XP), then things aren't great for you in staying safe and secure. While yes, Microsoft did solve IE secure issue XP, it was done last (other IE version found in newer version of IE got the fix before), it is unknown if Microsoft pulled an exception as it was a serious security issue, or not. Every now and then, you will have some important security issue found. Maybe next it will be Chrome or Firefox. The key, most important thing, is: SAFE web browsing. This means know where you go, and what you download. Sure, you can argue that you may have a security issue that could exists where a hacker can exploit it by tracking and attacking you directly, so visiting trusted sites is meaningless, as you can be compromised. However, these greatly exaggerated by the media type of security issues are unrealistic. Why would a hacker spend an entire day having a person via a web browser exploits, to hope that you go to a bank web site and steal your information to steal money from you, just to discover you have 100$ in the bank, or like many people, in debt, and have no money to take. Not worth it's time. Time that could be better spent, and more valuable to attack companies, to steal their information to sale at the black market.

Posted May 3, 2014 IE is bad and always will be. IE became bad as soon as M$ decided to ditch the industry standards for html and how the browser uses it. This is why all web developers hate IE as they have to write custom code just for IE and its "specialness". Actually, IE had 90% or so market share. It was a point of pushing the internet in its direction. Microsoft has done it, because the industry standard web languages were just not moving. Ok it was, but at super snail paste. The problem is that the direction that Microsoft took IE, wasn't what the web became, and what the standards developed to be. And also, because when you have such a large market share, you have pretty much 0 competitor, you naturally don't really care much. That is why competition is good. Today, IE11 is MUCH better than before. Still not amazingly best, but it does have super strong points such as: -> Very light on system resource when page renders, maximizing greatly battery life of mobile computers. -> Best touch experience by a VERY large margin (night and day), and I am not talking about the Windows 8 App (Modern UI) IE, I mean on the desktop. -> High-DPI aware -> Smoothest and more responsive zooming and scrolling experience. (Fells like you are on a very good, state of the art, powerful smartphone or tablet). -> Fastest cold startup -> Works well on low powered computers. IE11 still need some more polishing to reach Firefox and Chrome goodness, but it is incredibly close. The big feature it lacks are add-ons.

Posted May 3, 2014 motivation or source, please I can't find it anymore since the internet is filled with inflammatory shit and money grubbing sensational journalism basically IE has less exploits than Chrome, but that indicates number only, not severity.

IIRC Tek syndicate covered it not too long ago as well. actually i don't trust reviews/benchmarks/tests about browsers anymore, you can find 10 benches with 10 different results, and all of them will be different from what you would actually experience trying out the bloody browser anyway, IE is very good imo, even linus isn't giving up on it (yet) if you don't have problems with it, and you didn't use to use particular plugins, i think you can happily stay with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2014 technically chrome has more vulnerabilities than IE, actually. True, Chrome actually does have more vulnerabilities than IE. People need to let go of their past-perceptions and realize Microsoft in 2014 isn't the same Microsoft from 1999.

Posted May 4, 2014 actually i don't trust reviews/benchmarks/tests about browsers anymore That's like saying you don't trust CNN to tell you that there are 50 states in America.

Posted May 4, 2014 That's like saying you don't trust CNN to tell you that there are 50 states in America. It's not from a review, benchmark, test, or any sort of opinion. it's empirical fact internet explorer just has less known vulnerabilities, but that doesn't mean that it's safer, even though if you take a graph and slap in all the browsers with the relatives vulnerabilties count, it will look like IE is a fantastic safe but, as a good man once said on the internet the statistics are like a short skirt: they show a lot; but they never reveal the essential it's just obvious that chrome and firefox have more known vulnerabilities: anybody can see their source codes but if you take a look at pwn2own, you see that every year, IE is always the first browser to be cracked, and IE11 on win 8.1 makes no exception so it may even be empirical data, but the conclusion that you can take from empirical data can still be wrong if you interpret it the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
