When Will IE Get with The Program?

Where the fuck you work, Taco Bell?

I sell used BMWs. I make a killing on douchenozzles.

 

[Skel]

Any particular reason why? It's actually one of the fastest and most stable browsers now.

dude, if there's one thing I learned on this forum it's that anything Microsoft does is all FAIL. Facts and reason have nothing to do with anything MS related.. crap I meant to say M$...

The retard is complaining about a browser that's 3 generations removed already and from over half a decade ago.

All that money and you can't get yourself a new computer?

Well he forget to mention two things, they are matchbox BMWs and he's dealing with 5 year olds.

 

[Anubis]

Umm, he said he was using IE7, which was released Oct 2006.

But yeah, why anyone would still be using an IE below 9 is mind boggling.

the company i work for JUST did a full win 7 roll out in the past month

we use IE8, the uninstalled IE9 and installed IE8 on the image, IE8 is the ONLY browser that works, all other are blocked from even opening, cant even run them from a thumb drive

You must specialize in M3's. :whiste:

don't forget to mention something about a thrown chair. That always helps you make better browser comparisons.

 

[dank69]

No he sells used BMWs. He makes a killing, too.

why make up lies?

Somebody owes me an apology.

I'm pretty sure I'd blow my brains out if I was forced to use IE8 all day. Why does your company hate all of its employees?

I finally broke down and asked IT to install Firefox on my machine. Using the Internet is a billion and one times more responsive (and probably more secure) with NoScript and ABP.

IE8 has a ton of awkward pop-up notifications here with annoying button choices. "Do you want to only load the items from a secure location?" I get this one all the time on GMail, and we're so used to clicking yes, but you want to click no. I also get prompts when I go to websites like MSDN. Yes I want to go from one trusted website to another! Sheesh, IE... leave me alone! :|

 

[amish]

in my case, none of our tools work with anything but IE7 right now. can't use chrome, firefox, safari, etc.

I am the test bed for Win 7. It will be pushed out to the rest in about 3 months.

Well, WinXP only supports up to IE8. You can run Chrome Frame in older browsers to view more modern webpages though:

https://developers.google.com/chrome/chrome-frame/

Does anyone else find it extremely sad that you need to get a third-party plugin just so IE can utilize modern web standards? (Yes, I know that IE9 is leaps and bounds better and more compatible than IE6/7, I'm just sayin'.)

IE6 and 7 are 11 and 6 years old. How long do you expect software to maintain compliance with current standards?

For the record, IEx is pretty much worthless outside of custom business apps. For everything else, Chrome or FireFox. I fell in love with Chrome after FF went to crap between 4.0 and 9.0. Outfitted with the right extensions, its pretty damn awesome. Heck, there's even an extension to disable the Facebook Timeline on all profiles.

Can't stand IE9 for the simple fact it forces cleartype on you. Text looks absolutely horrible with cleartype. This "feature" should be off by default and enabled for those visually impaired that feel it's better. JMHO...

With LCDs you run native resolution to get the crispest text possible. Cleartype is a step backward and the end result is blurring and eyestrain. Even worse is when you see "color bleeding" on certain backgrounds, etc. Utterly disgusting. D:

cant get them to install any other browser without a valid reason. there basically are no valid reasons. gmail is blocked also

we only moved to 8 like a year ago from 6, pretty sure it has to with lots of in house stuff not working with 9, web based tools and whatnot,

 

[Ichinisan]

1) Drag the Back button downward
2) Click and hold on it

 

[Ausm]

BWAHAHAHA! No, they got up on 6 but are upgrading us to 7.
I use Chrome every where else.

+1 Chrome

 

[Ichinisan]

I prefer IE9 > Chrome > Firefox .. still stuck in XP at work though so I use Chrome for almost everything.

Though FireFox tends to have better compatibility than Chrome. Chrome tends to load faster for me.

IE9 > Chrome?

Does IE9 let you sync bookmarks, stored passwords, and cookies with your Live account? ...bring open tabs from one system to another? Even if it did, it would be inferior to Chrome because Chrome lets me do this across multiple platforms.

Does IE9 let you switch to a completely different profile with a click?

The only advantage I see with Internet Explorer is that it has a real title bar. Chrome restricts me from using AeroSnap when I have a lot of tabs open and I can never see the full title of a web page. It's not fair that the Linux version has an option to show system title bars and the Windows version does not

When ClearType came out with WinXP, Microsoft said it was designed to enhance readability on LCDs. The text really did look a lot better to me...kind of like anti-aliasing.

 

[EagleKeeper]

I should be able to right click the back button and pick how far back I want to go.

Using IE9 - I click/hold the left mouse on the back button and it shows 8 pages that I can go or provide the option to view the full history of the tab.

/rant not understood - OP error?

No it looks horrible. AA just masks the problem of low PPI displays. Fix the hardware problem not use a software band aid that ultimately makes it worse particularly with those that have near perfect vision up close.

I have no problem with this faulty feature as long as they don't mandate it on everyone. It's no different than the music loudness war. Once that garbage is compressed there's no way to fix it. Put compressors in cars, etc. and let the end user ultimately decide how they want to listen, not shove crap down everyone's throat like Nazis...

Drag downward and you don't have to wait (Chrome has been this way since...always).

Opera <3

But I've used the big 3 a bit and 'out of the box' I prefer IE9 to FF and Chrome.
