      Yes, but it's really a very brief waste: all you use IE / Edge for is to download a better browser... :laugh:

        To be honest: I don't see a real difference, all the Browsers Fails then and when. No one of them is really _the best_, only sometimes more up to date for a certain _ small _ period. :(

          There is a big difference. IE doesn't have AdBlock. Therefore it is not fit for purpose. Edge might be the best thing since fried bananas, but I'll never know because it is infested with ads, so I refuse to use it.

            We have a browser based application where I work, lots of money was spent buying the licenses, getting someone to install and configure it. Some screens only work in IE. Some screens only work not in IE. Outstanding.

            Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                        The problem with all of this that I see is that in the rare occasion that (for example) Firefox has an issue, fixing it doesn't break Chrome. "Fixing" an IE issue usually breaks something else in the process (for the record I only use conditional css includes as an absolute last resort).

                                      While I'm a big fan on thrash talking Internet Exploded it's not that bad... At work I use it and I can't complain too much. After spending a lot of time with chrome and then switching back to firefox I like IE more than chrome. Edge... makes me want to puke thou. I think Microsoft should just provide a tool that allows you to choose and download a browser and then just stop trying.

                                        The IE was and is crappy but Edge is really better. The best browser is Google Chrome, but with it all of you is in the cloud - ready for "Big Brother" :suss:

                                          Microsoft stopped making IE already. So you may just as well stop making it work like the other browsers.
