I don't have anything vs IE personally. Many people echo shit they heard 10 years ago when they tell you not to use it. Fact is all browsers suck without the right plugins.

Also I have noticed google websites (google, youtube, etc.) started being super slow in IE about a year ago, probably they are trying to push their terrible browser.

If you read objective tests there isn't really a clear winner for best browser, IE does use much less memory when you don't run more than 3 or so tabs, chrome is better for 3 or more tabs on memory use

It all boils down to IE being available on every windows PC. Why download additional software when you can just use the built in one

I don't know if IE has caught up and frankly I don't care.. I like my ad block (disabled for P99) and other addons - IE had none of that and until there's something really next level I'm good with ole pal Firefox, though I know Chrome has as many addons [You must be logged in to view images.

The truth is the security differences between the big three browsers are trivial, and most security problems are user problems. IE has improved quite a bit over the past several years, but I'm happy with FF.

If you like Mozilla, should try Seamonkey. I've used it for a few years and it feels like old firefox.. fast, and not bloated.

The biggest (outdated) rumors

IE sux because it doesn't have AdBlockPlus (hasn't been true for a few years)
IE is the slowest browser (hasn't been true for a decade)
IE is not secure (hasn't been true for a decade)

along with

Google is the best Search page (yeah right)

IE blows because it still doesn't recognize most of the most commonly used CSS3 selectors.

Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari are all better.

If you want to test something new, ex-Opera CEO is putting out Vivaldi, which is a browser built with node.js

Pretty sure IE had some security issues as of last year even. Yes IE does have Adblock plus now and isnt as slow but i still dont trust IE.

Still use Firefox because Chrome does not care about privacy.

Can't go wrong with chrome really. My company still has IE on every work computer and I think it blows.
