Don’t Use Internet Explorer
While checking the blog statistics I found that a large part of the blog readers ( 59% ) are still using internet explorer. I think most people don’t know about the internet explorer problems or they are not willing to change. Here is the reasons why you should not use internet explorer.
Not compatible with the W3C web standards.
Microsoft offers their own solutions, totally ignoring the standards set by the W3C. Web standards insure that any page written according to the standards should work on any standards compatible browser. but Internet Explorer is NOT standards compliant. This means that every web developer has to do double work to make a page work both for Internet Explorer and standards compliant browsers.
Most people think that internet explorer works fine for me then why should I care about this. But now there are some advanced technologies which will help to make a better web, and change your browsing experience. These are internationally agreed standards on how the web should work. But Microsoft has their own set of solutions which can only work with Internet Explorer. Because of both technologies aren’t supported by the each other, the web is being held back from advancing to it’s full potential.
Security
I have read several times about different security hole in Internet Explorer. More and more hackers and spammers are finding new ways to exploit the problems in internet explorer and it will continue to get worse, not better. This is a big reason why should not use internet explorer. Some Internet Explorer technologies such as ActiveX and Active Scripting make it easier for malicious software, such as spyware and viruses, to be installed on your computer.
