Well then IBM are a bunch of ****ing *****s. IE is without a doubt the worst browser out there. It's extremely slow, It uses too many system resources, it has no extensions or addons like firefox(and soon chrome). What were they thinking when they made that decision?

 

princeton, the story says IMB made Firefox the default option, not Internet Explorer

 

Oh god misread it. That scared me. Thanks for clarifying that.

 

That's maybe because IE is used for porn hahah

 

I don't know why this bugs me so much, but it's obvious they're trying to imply that users are switching voluntarily to IE8 instead of recognizing that IE8 is standard with every new Windows 7 install and constantly nags Windows users to upgrade to it.

 

I myself use Firefox instead of internet explorer as it is fast and safe. No other browser can beat take its place.

I believe w3cschools has more accurate numbers

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

 

Directly from your link:
"W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.

These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users."
