Fucking IE Luddites!
So, I was looking at customising the blog a bit more, when low and behold I saw this, at the bottom of the page.
Which goes to here: http://browsehappy.com/
A site talking about how “IE is a security risk”, and this pisses me off. Now don’t get me wrong, I will concede that IE has had its own unique problems.
But if you look you will find that all the issues highlighted that affect IE somehow, also get patched in Firefox not long after… its Windows… so stop fucking slagging IE!
Its not just Windows but *User ERRor!*, users should be schooled better not to click on “that link” or get fooled by popups or just get better bloody security software!
Yes I use IE, as I am a creature of habit! But I know what sites to goto and what not to, so why can’t I just be left alone to use IE!
Didn’t stop this happening: http://www.alexsays.co.uk/040107/ :P That was a slip of the tongue, honest.
Truthfully, I use IE, Firefox and Opera to test to make sure my websites are compatible, its not an excuse to make shitty websites. IE is much easier to code with (ok so it breaks a few rules), but IE is faster, it renders everything faster that Firefox. Theres no crappy “shuddering” whilst it reads the stylesheet and decides where it needs to go. Saying that, nothing imho can beat Opera, its fast, can take huge pages but does lack plugins and such.
