Re: Warning: Don't Use Internet Explorer

So what if it's installed? Just don't use it.

Re: Warning: Don't Use Internet Explorer

Many sites in India are IE friendly only. ex. the banking sites and payment gateways. Some of the payment gateways don't work properly in FF.

Like it or not, you need to use IE some time or other. so its better to keep it updated always.

I use Firefox and for those adamant IE only sites, use IETab extension (damn! no version for FF3.6 yet ).

use Coral IE Tab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909

for firefox 3.6 better than original IE Tab...

Re: Microsoft crticised for weakness in IE

IE is not that bad at all.
some sites dont show up properly on firefox and opera so have to use ie.
esp. educational and some organization sites.

so my usage:
85% FF + 15% IE= 100% web surfing satisfaction.

the main reason is dat its integrated in the os ...EU has fined MS in the past so they offer a browser ballot screen n europe

Whether one likes it or not, IE is integrated into the OS. I am still using XP (just lazy to upgrade ), so do not know if Win7 has put an end to it. So, IE Updates always need to be installed even though it's gathering lot of digital dust

I use Firefox and for those adamant IE only sites, use IETab extension (damn! no version for FF3.6 yet ).

Well it has put an end in one part of the world(Europe)...where MS is shipping Win7(Retail & OEM) without IE...its called Windows 7 E...
Analysis: EU's Internet Explorer ruling looks back to 1990s....Windows 7 to be shipped in Europe without Internet Explorer...

But the reset of the world still has no forceeeable end:tongue:...as said by theroxicmind....
