Microsoft Needs to Stop Making Browsers.
-
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!

To reduce carbon emissions resulting from the added 40% waste of electricity spent trying to get IE to work like the other browsers.
:java: I am hoping that they don't and more competition helps create more internet security for personal information and privacy.

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.

I really don't see a problem with IE and if you want to use Remote Web Workplace you don't have many alternatives Edge works better than IE on office365 if we are dealing in clichés I use chrome if I want google to definitely know about what I am searching for I use firefox, not sure there any caveat's here. I use this for an internal application as I know I can leave the window open all day and still have a usable PC I haven't found the perfect browser and suspect that whatever is perfect this week will turn out to struggle with something next week

Yes, at the beginning, but I put it back the day I converted it to FlyingCar. It is also the day I got the Dr.Fusion upgrade.

I did this and it has worked for me for the most part: http://www.windowscentral.com/here-how-block-ads-ie-11-windows-81[^] There's also this: http://simple-adblock.com/[^] So, how come it works for me but you still say there's no ad blocker for IE?

That never showed up in my Google results when I last searched for it. Doesn't change the fact that IE is a terrible browser though :)

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.
IE DOES have AdBlock. Logged in here from Windows 7 with IE11 (old system!), and running AdBlock Plus. Log in to www.adblockplus.org and on the right-hand side it offers links for Firefox, Chrome, Android, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, Yandex, Maxthon AND Microsoft Edge. So lack of AdBlock is not the only reason for not using IE?!?

That's interesting. Last time I checked, which was about 6 months ago, there was an Adblock for IE, but it was very old and abandoned. I will read this again. No, that's not the only reason I don't use IE, but I will stop now and give it a full review. I'm always looking for the best experience. Thanks for suggesting it.
