Correct. That’s the tough thing MS has to fix. They can’t hide behind low number of users to keep from being socially engineered. Max OSX had the luxury of hiding for years, but now they are more popular so they too are getting attacked. The dumb user is the biggest problem, but the dumb user only hears Mac is secure that virus won’t run on a Mac. So they buy a mac and they have the same issue.
To protect their market Microsoft HAS to protect the dumb user from themselves. Me I never had an issue with IE and Windows, but then again I’m not a dumb user. But I’ve had many dumb users ask me to fix their stuff.
IE9 is considered more HTML5 compliant than Chrome or Firefox (last I heard). I know there is some dispute over these findings, but http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/ie9_outperforms_other_browsers_for_html5_complianc.php but still you can’t deny IE9 isn’t taking HTML5 seriously.
IE9 also blocks all of my legitimate downloads, my banking site and most PDF downloads.
Browsers leapfrog for compatibility, stability, security, speed and malware detection. IE 9 is definitely better than the past versions of IE.
Still not enough to have me switch back.
Really? It hasn’t blocked any of mine. And I go to several banking sites, BA, Chase, Citi, USAA, Wells Fargo, etc...
Yes, ING Bank.
Frustrating. It doesn't work on my iPad (Safari) either.
I have to go to FF to make a transfer. [Safari classic on my iPad also crashes Google Adsense reports.]
There have been a few other transactional or interactive sites where IE has failed me but I cannot recall any of the URIs at the moment.
Also Standard Bank doesn't work for me with IE9 either.
I just did the standard bank one...and it *appeared* to work for me. I did have to put it in compatibility mode though. CLick the little broken page at the right of the address bar by the refresh symbol.
Thanks!
I’ll try that tomorrow when I’m back on my own PC.
