I think many computer nerds are beyond thankful that internet explorer isn't the only option for web browsers out there. I personally use Firefox. What's your preference? Be sure to vote in the poll!

Oh god not IE! Anyway as I said in the google vs bing thread it is Chrome for me. I used to use Firefox before I got an iPad for school and then an iPhone and that's when I got chrome for the cross compatibility. Also as Darth Apple said in another thread the convenience of having a URL and search bar in one is handy.
Err what do I put here?<br /><br />I like Minecraft? I play Minecraft? <br />I play Sim City 4? I play Sim City 4?<br />I also don't like democracy!

I honestly don't understand why anyone even uses IE at all. Actually, from the perspective of a webmaster, usually many hours are spent just getting something to look usable in IE, whereas it just works by default in Chrome and Firefox. IE is a mess if you ask me.

The whole idea of IE is a mess. Surely someone like MS can do better with all of they're talent and money.

I actually wonder if MS employees even use IE for their own personal web browsing. I know if I was employed by MS I wouldn't be using IE.

Lol I wonder too.
What is konquerer?

It's a popular web browser for linux users. For many linux users it's also their file browser.
I personally don't love it, but it has a decent user base.

I think it's the default file browser for KDE, although I don't particularly care for KDE.
May 25th, 2013 at 1:41 AM
Ah, I wasn't aware that it was also the default for Xfce. I might install Xfce on my install of Ubuntu soon just to see what it's like. I have heard good things about it, so I think it's probably worth trying.

I uninstalled thunar and just used plain nautilus.. but then the move to trash option was gone and delete didn't work in the right click menus, so yeah

nautilus has been a bit of a mess lately. Seems like it's slowly getting cleaned up, but it needs work.

I think IE needs a good refresh. It's still better than FF, IMO. FF hasn't worked for me for a long time. Back when their release numbering made sense (i.e. changing the colour didn't mean a complete 1.x change

They need to simplify their interface. I think that all of the features and extensions they've tried to add only make things worse, to be honest. If they made it feel a lot more like Google Chrome, that alone would be a pretty good accomplishment.

For sure. It's a little clunky, though IE10 is a bit of an improvement. I don't like the tabs/URL bar layout, though. But it's not terrible.

Seems like microsoft is on the right track, but it still needs work in my opinion. It's improving slightly each release though.
