If you have tried other browsers, you will be certainly aware that nobody managed to beat the IE. Other borwsers are all designed in a very clumsy way. Even if IE has flaws, where the borwser really slows down, the competition does not have anything that can compare to IE in terms of interface design. As the matter of fact Internet Explorer and Netscape were the two best designed browsers. And nobody is able to make a browser as much as good as IE. It is a disgrace that Netscape was discontinued though.

tldr; It's version locked to specific operating systems.

Someone asked me a question about why I hate IE, as a web developer why I just pretend it doesn't exist. Money grubbing MS is making my whole career a nightmare PURELY by IE's release design. Its the only browser that is still 'version based' compare it to Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari.

Think hard now. They all silently update. People refer to specific browser versions of IE. In addition it will never self update it will never fix itself. Yeah Microsoft will patch a critical bug here and there, but they wont fix the rendering. They wont implement new web standards in an old version.

A new version of windows will roll around ever 4-6 years and we will have to wait another 6-9 to get rid of the latest version of IE that is running on it and its flaws. There is no advancement while IE is OS locked, and it will always be OS locked, thus it will always, no matter what features they put in it be crap because there will always be a crappy version of it somewhere that needs supporting and preventing web developers from developing on the edge, or in a hassle free way.

Because MS wants money many companies can not innovate. It was 6, then 7, then 8 now 9. Soon it will be 10 that will be the 'oldest' version of IE that needs supporting. Its a cycle, do not let MS fool you the browser will always suck till it is not OS locked.

I FOUND OTHER IE USERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What in the fuck just happened. Fix this shit right now. IDC how much you spent for someone to do whatever the fuck they think they upgraded. I'm going back to chrome. Fire whoever okayed whatever the fuck you want to call that software push.

I'm serious fire them.

eat shit. that update was fucked. tell whoever makes a billion dollars over year yes or no on something like this that they can go crawl into a hive of hornets and pray for the honest criticism Id give them.

fuck off. if you used IE you'd also be like what In the gottam shit is this.

tried IE for less than 2 months and while Microsoft's lag is dealt with better. nothing is worth the war crime you did to my multiple tabs on whatever the god damn fuck you wanna call whatever you just did. suck my cock. I'm never using Microsoft edge specifically because of whatever the fuck this update is.

you were so close. better optimization, better background ram usage. you still have whatever the fuck is going on for ads on home page even though I told you I wanted something else, again I dealt with it because of performance.

but now we get to the cherry. the cherry you made into a radish. you listened to dumb fuck Ed who said you need to do this to get more users. guess the fuck what ed. your product is shut and so is your management. nothing person against you ed. but I'd kick whoever the fuck green lighted this updated in the nuts so good damn hard he would wish he worked for yahoo.

back to chrome I go, fuck of with whatever the fuck you tried to do in the last hour. revert it all.

nods delete this islf you work for Microsoft

I remember than in an older version of IE, there used to be a button for QuickTabs on the top bar. But, in IE10, the only way to use it is to use the shortcut Ctrl + Q(which also has to be enabled in settings). Is there also an option to display the old button?

Thanks.

I have IE 8 and i'm trying to switch to IE9. I can install IE9 alright but after i restart the computer i'm still stuck with IE8 and i cant find the IE9 that supposedly installed earlier. So what should i do?
