Why don't you like IE?

[JordanMac]

I've always used Internet Explorer, ive tried chrome and firefox but not seen any reason to switch. why do you guys not like IE?

[WoodenMarker]

It's a pain to customize. 

[mybeat]

Because I had to develop web stuff for Opera, Firefox, Chrome, IE (both 6 & 7++). IE always gave me problems with simple CSS stuff.

Also, it doesn't save previously open pages by default afaik, takes a while to load used to hang from time to time on sites like slashdot. 

[Elbstrand]

There are many possible reason. The newest IE version is fairly decent.

 

As a developer i hate any version lower then 10. Not only are they worse performers, have less features and are more prone to have security risks, but the worst of all, they fail to implement even the most basic html, css and javascript features correct.

[kemical]

just feels outdated  and slow to

[Purple]

Pretty much already said 

 

• Slow for me

• Not easy to customize

• Less flexibility

• Doesn't cooperate well with HTML/CSS/Javascript

• Outdated 

[Elbstrand]

I advise anyone to try IE10 tho, its pretty fast and decent.

yeah im on 10 at the moment and its a big jump from 9, it feels like it flows better.

I love chrome the minute I first tried it!

For me, IE is just way to slow... and it just poor in customize interface...

[Eddyall]

If I start IE, FF then Chrome in that order, Chrome starts, FF opens and 20 sec later IE opens.

As far as i know the javascript engine is one or even the fastest right now. They did a really great job over the last years in trying to get this thing to be standards conform and fast.

 

A couple of years ago i would have laught at people for using IE, but since this version i wouldnt mind people using it. It's the only IE Version i will support in upcoming web applications.

for me on IE 10 it opens the same time as chrome

chrome is a great browser, but lacks many addons & features i really need. Right now I'm using Aurora (Firefox alpha2 channel), it pretty stable and i get all the good stuff early on.

I can't even click fast enough to compare them... Both are pretty much up instantaneous. Firefox with 20+ Addons, 15+ Plugins and about 5k Bookmarks takes about 1-2 seconds.

[Darell3]

Takes to long to start up, tabs tend to lagg and freeze. Overall performance is Sh*t.

[ERSCreeper]

I switched from Firefox to IE 10 when I changed to Windows 8 and I am lovely it!

[Guest Gazzer96]

When ever I download something on IE it is corrupted, with FireFox and Chrome there are no problems.

[ShadowLight18]

i have problems switching back and forth. so until chrome absolutely shits its self, i wont change. i dont feel like learning a new set of preferences and tab system to change back to IE or change to FF.

 

however. since IE 10 use and this add

i fine IE slightly more tolerable

[leipero]

To be honest, on my last PC (and few others) IE simply works much smoother compared to any other web browser (Chrome, Firefox...etc.). Firefox have worst performance, but, it is most secure.

 

Only difference between those browsers is with Chrome playing youtube videos far better than IE and FF. IE works better with pages, scrolling etc. And Firefox is worst in any scenario, but, it is best for usage, and most secure, so, every browser ahve it's pros and cons. And it depends what is your priority.

I tried IE 10, and I thought it was 9 when using it.

Was disappointed to see it still be bad.

[Chaospeter]

Exactly this

[Conelton]

I don't like the layout of the tabs and the URL bar.

 

Also, as someone who has tried making nice-looking web pages in IE, I just hate it.

[arkon]

Lack of good extensions. Some weird rendering issues too (mostly before IE10 though).

[Blade of Grass]

I don't like how it looks, and it isn't as easily customization as Chrome or FireFox. They don't have any good plugins/extensions, plus it performs worse.

[911^NEmeSis]

Sucks to customise, lacks the addons that Firefox has and crashed every minute - literally.
