Why Not To Use Internet Explorer

1. Security
   It’s commonly used as THE gateway for most malicious software. IE makes it relatively easy to install spyware and adware through ActiveX and Active Scripting; consequently hackers focus their attention on Internet Explorer. Security improvements in Windows XP SP2 claimed to have closed these holes, but newer attacks against IE allow the installation of malware on SP2.
2. Stability
   Internet Explorer crashes very easily. Due to its many deficiencies it doesn’t take much for IE to crumple. In effect it can be done with on line of code (61 bytes):
   <script>for(x in document.write){document.write(x);}</script>
   It’s rather worrying considering that this script could be embedded into any webpage.
3. Web standards
   This is almost certainly the main reason why IE is hated in the web development community. Since the late 1990’s Microsoft is oddly focused on the addition of non-standard features, there are so many web standard features that do not work on IE but works on all other browsers. This not only increases development costs and time but also stops web developers from being creative.
   To name a few incompatibilities:
   
   • IE doesn’t support native XHTML
   • Misinterprets the W3C “Box Model”
   • Llacks support for PNG alpha channel.
4. Community and extensions
   Unlike other browsers you can’t add extra features. Any other major browser has tons of extensions available covering anything that you can think of.
5. Better options
   At present mozilla is the best browser in the market. It’s free, it follows all the standards correctly. It has loads of extensions which can turn your browser into an all-in-one application. If you still using Internet Explorer, try something new today!
