A picture speaks a thousands words. I hate Internet Explorer.
The only thing worse than IE is a newer version of IE. I have long a go renamed my shortcuts into “Stupid IE” and out it into a folder so I can’t see the icon too often.
But for the sake of your online business, you need to understand that most of your readers or customers are using IE. Why?
Because it was bundled with the Windows OS, that’s why. And if your customers aren’t too tech-savvy they would have no idea what a “Firefox” is. My GobalaKrishnan.com stats reveal that 45.9% of readers are using IE, and that’s taking into consideration that YOU are more likely to be among the class of “savvy” Internet users probably hooked to Firefox, Safari or Chrome.
You’ve seen the light, but what about your customers who have not? If you’re writing an e-book, developing software or designing CSS-based themes or templates, check them for IE-compatibility. IE sucks and it makes your life harder. But you need to check anyway or end up with disgruntled customers.

I personally hate IE, but you can’t live without it, some “stupid” website still optimize for IE only, especially Malaysian site.
I use Firefox most of the time but Google Chrome for Google reader!
I hope Google Chrome can be as good or better than firefox, I love their new JavaScript engine…
Hey man, not sure if you are aware, your homepage looks screwed in IE6. You might want to fix that as I think there are a lot of folks out there that are still using IE6, like myself..
I can’t see anything wrong in IE, unless I’m missing something?
Hey, I quite dislike Internet Explorer too, but it is faster than Firefox according to Firefox Myths. And, here is my opinion on Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
