I use firefox almost exclusively, but have IE, Opera and a few other browsers on hand. It is necessary to have several browsers to check changes when I make them to my several blogs and forums. But IE is too slow to use as my regular browser. Like most MS software it is bloated and slow.
Worse Microsoft ignores W3C standards in their browsers, arrogantly thinking they can re-establish standards and developers will follow. Well they don't, but they are forced to use hacks and fixes to make pages display properly in IE. At least most do. For those that don't you get cross-browser incompatibilities. |
