Incompatible Internet Explorer

December 15, 2008 – 11:03 am

Generally speaking, Internet Explorer is known to be an inferior browser, which handles code differently than other browsers, like Opera and Firefox, which results in pages displayed poorly and a lot of trouble for web developers. Internet Explorer was always lacking many features, was not considered as a safe browser, and the main reason people use it is because it is bundled with Windows. It might sound harsh, but all I said is true. Developers sometimes even had to build Web sites completely from scratch a second time to make a version that worked with Microsoft’s browsers. I think that the problem is that Microsoft is such a huge company that even though they probably have an inferior product they want to squish the competition by bundling Internet Explorer with Windows. For browsers such as Opera, it is hard to compete with them, because they do not have the necessary funding to advertise themselves, especially that IE is already included in Windows, so many people are not looking for a different browser. My advice is that you give a chance to other browsers than Internet Explorer and see how you like them. I am sure that you will find many features in other browsers which you will like.

  2. Yes correct I always use 2 or 3 browsers to check my work. Also we cannot totally discount IE since that is by far the most popular browser of them all.
