Microsoft Needs to Stop Making Browsers.
-
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.
And Chrome and ff and I don't no what else always works perfect? :confused: I'm far away to be a fan of ie/ms, but a lot of complains Looks for me only "let's be against MS". N.B: Before some days, I just became a fan of linux/mint and wine and _I love it_ ;) [Edit] Allow me to deposit this here. Not addressed to you, only a general remark: Rendering the GUI with this "over all perfect system independent" browser technics takes factors more than the retrieval/calculate the relevant data....

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.
-
So ie does not have AdBlock.... Are you using ie6 or what? No I'm not fan of ie, but please, stay fair and let us discuss techniques and not myths.
Have you ever used IE? It's horrible. Terrible. Disgusting. Even the latest version of IE does not support add-ons, so no AdBlock indeed. As I understood the same goes for Edge. I noticed you're trying to defend IE in a post below. Just stop. IE is bad. I even have a study book that does not use IE for that reason and it warns specifically for all the quirks in IE. I've had the same experience, a page works everywhere except in IE or it works in IE and nowhere else. Did I mention IE really is an atrocity? Sometimes I'm forced to use IE, it always makes me feel used and dirty. Because IE really is the worst browser around. By far. And then some.

Yes, but it's really a very brief waste: all you use IE / Edge for is to download a better browser... :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

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.

So in other words: IE is not fit for the purpose of being a web browser because it shows ALL of the content of a given webpage? What is the purpose of a webbrowser then? To show only parts of a webpage?

Honestly, IE is good enough. Trying to get a page to render the same on all browsers is coding hell. Chrome/Firefox is all about tracking and advertising these days with their "free" browsers. You pay for Windows, which is how the IE team gets paid. I, for one, will happily pay for an advertisement free experience wherever I can get it.

IE works best for all my browsing. Firefox is just lame. Edge is crap thou. And no matter what else is said, no other software provider can meet the greatness of Microsoft!

:java: I am hoping that they don't and more competition helps create more internet security for personal information and privacy.

have you removed the governor that limits it to 87 MPH?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
