Today I’m blogging about a different kind of cool site. I’ve stopped by StopIE and have reminded myself about how important this matter is. If you are still using Internet Explorer, then read up and hopefully you change your mind after this post!
The main reason you should switch today, is that Internet Explorer is prone to viruses. It automatically downloads and installs viruses if you are accessing the wrong kind of site. In firefox you are alerted before something happens, and given a choice whether to continue or not. Of course if you decide to continue, you can only blame yourself.
The reason above is the main reason you should switch, but for webmasters like me there is something that annoys me much more. Internet Explorer renders pages differently than other browsers. So everytime I am designing something I have to make sure it works for both, Internet Explorer and the rest of the browsers. This gets annoying very quickly and it is Internet Explorer that has weak code interpretations, and does not seem to follow today’s standards. Things look uglier in IE too.
There are more reasons, and i recommend you visit the website and read up more. There are many free alternatives to IE, and even though they claim their next release will be better, don’t wait, do yourself and me a favor today.
