As a web developer, I have to say that IE hasn’t been the dog that everybody thinks it is for a while... since IE 9 it’s light years better in terms of standards compliance and rarely do I have to do anything special to make things work with versions of IE after version 8. It’s got better support for the newest standards than than Firefox or Chrome in some respects, though worse in others. Most folks don’t realize that every browser has incomplete support for the standards and they all sometimes require workarounds and special little “hacks” if you’re going to do anything very complicated.

Exactly, I’m not constantly looking online to find out how to customize it to how I like to use it like I was when I tried FF and opera- and I’m not constantly running into websites that don’t display correctly like I was wuith FF and opera

[[all sometimes require workarounds and special little “hacks” if you’re going to do anything very complicated]]

I kept finding htat FF and oepra required hacks or workarounds to get basic uncomplicated websites to display well

plus the fact that FF and Chrome and I think even newer versions of opera are all linked to google somehow- something I don’t want my browser linked to-

I have to say that IE hasn’t been the dog that everybody thinks it is for a while..

Ummm Yes it is.

IE has sucked big time for a long time now. Try opening Forbes or the Wall Street Journal or any other script heavy site with it. Crash and Freeze

Hell, even opening Yahoo, IE won't let you scroll down for about a minute or two.
