It's been a long time since I used IE. Once I started having tons of issues with it even with a fresh install then I switched to Pale Moon. Been more than a year now.

Oh come on people IE is not THAT bad...
And hey who knows...maybe one day IE will become a GREAT internet browser...
It already is great...it's not that bad as people may think.

And if somebody wants to hack you then they WILL hack you regardless of the internet browser you use.
You should not rely on the security only based on a browser...........that is a BAAAAAD idea...

I am shocked with your comments...

Like I already said...if somebody wants to hack you then they WILL hack you regardless of the internet browser you use.
You should not rely on the security only based on a browser.It is easy as hell to break each one of them.
Which is why I don't depend on the security only based on a browser.
Those who do...well...I wish you all the best.

Why would I care anyway...

Ok, but when there are people in this world that isn't as smart as you, then they need to get educated on what browsers not to use. IE is a malware magnet, enough said.

Start thinking outside of the box instead of about yourself. This world isn't all about YOU!!!

Bold text:

This I have to agree with you.Not everybody knows a lot about these things and that's very true.
So yeah for them it would be enough to learn what browsers to use and what browsers not to use that's true.
They sure as hell won't start learning programming just to know how to protect themselves lol.

So yeah you are completely right on that one and I completely agree with you.

I guess I was more refering to those with some computer knowledge and completely forgot about those who can barely install a web browsers lol. :D

So anyway yes I 100% agree with you on that one.

See even you and I can agree about something. :p

Been using Firefox since Chrome runs like crap on the Macbook. Gos to show how big of a resource hog it is if it can't run off a C2D and 2GB of RAM. The UI has improved a LOT since I last tried it, during Aurora. No longer feels clunky IMO.

Yeah it does feel a tad slow on the E5300 with 4GB of RAM. Seems to run OK on the Q8300 with 4GB of RAM though. Different operating systems may be why or perhaps different browser settings. Windows 7 on the Q8300 (and nothing synced) and Windows 8.1 on the E5300 with my settings synced.

I'm still using Chrome, no matter what I go to, I always switch back to it (except on my last two Macs where Safari is way faster). Its been that way for a very long time for me. I think I started to use Chrome back when it was V5 IIRC. The reason why is that it's UI is just ridiculously clean and fast, though FF has gotten better (and Opera as well), Chrome just dominates. I may actually like IE even more, but not gonna use the most insecure browser. I like Safari but for Windows it just plain sucks.

Apparently Microsoft is going to rename IE come Windows 9 because of all the negativity towards it.

I remember hearing at a IE developer team AMA a little while back that they were thinking about a name change. So I guess they decided to go through with it. Do you know what they're gonna name it?

Oh and I was wondering if anybody has any like, security statistics for IE 11? I was thinking if using it if the security isn't way below Chrome.

Why not? It's a modern browser that is perfectly capable.
It has changed a lot for the better in the past 5 years or so (starting with IE9) and so I would argue that it is now a decent browser to use but I prefer Chrome.

I heard this too. Kind of funny because all they will be doing is making people more skeptical towards it because now people will think that Microsoft have lost confidence in it. ;)
