Why Do You Still Use...

Why do you still use the Internet Explorer Browser?

This is not a review about the Browser itself (my mind is already made up about how crappy it is) as there are other threads that handle that, this thread asks the question "Why do you still use it? Especially knowing that it is full of hacker holes and is not good at handling some basic elements of the web?

Offtopic but, If you are looking to move to a different browser then I strongly suggest you go with Mozilla Firefox (see other reviews about it within this Board).

Use You Why

The only place I use IE is at work. We are not allowed to use any other browser. I never use it at home.

Why Do You Still Use... Gaming Video & Issues Computer

I use IE at school, because that's the only one on the computers here, and I am not allowed to install an alternative. At home, we use it on my grandparents' computer, because it would take them a long time to learn how to use a different browser. I just don't have time to help them change over right now.

Use You Why

If and when I use it is because I am testing a code / page to see how it looks for IE users. I also use it to update my OS since it is necessary to have it in order to download the updates.

Use You Why

I love IE. That is why I use it. I cannot be bothered to use one browser to surf and another to update my PC. Also, I know that all web pages are going to be written to work with it since it is used by the vast majority of people.

Why Do You Still Use...

I cannot believe a Network Administrator is saying they love Internet Explorer! There must be a breakdown in the matrix somewhere. Please do tell me that you at least disable java and some ActiveX controls for safety.

Why You Use...

I voted the option it comes with Windows. I haven't used Mozilla much but I am used to Internet Explorer, and it is the most comfortable for me. However, after reading JB's opinion of IE, I will consider moving to Mozilla.

I do not disable anything. It just isn't a realistic option. There are business related sites my users access that require these features in order for them to work properly. I don't really have an option at work. However, I have a very secure firewall which I believe offers me a great deal of protection.
