Why won't Internet Explorer just die???

What's your "IE Fail" story?

FYI, this is not my main channel, so the topics may not be 100% Linux-related.

I don't work for any company so I don't care about my website being compatible for IE :D

[TWILTalks]

@benoitlegat lucky guy. :P

IE is the browser that almost doubles the work web developers have to do at stylesheets. At my school some teachers who teach informatics are in a conflict with the ICT system managers about IE.

[TWILTalks]

@ubufreak I can't tell you just how much time I've spent redoing CSS to make it work with IE...

Last semester, I took a class called Internet/Intranet Design at Stark State. They told us we should only use Firefox to test our webpages instead of Internet Explorer.

(and as for the comments below, on second thought I won't get involved(but I'm siding with america0014))

[TWILTalks]

@Tununias I hadn't been paying attention to most of the comments here. I only get emailed when it's a direct response to the video, or is a reply to one of my comments. Wow. :)

To be honest, when I'm developing at work, I test in IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome.

Internet Explorer should die.

What's internet explorer?

[MrDoubleKiller]

Wow half of the people hating on IE are obviously retarded, i used internet explorer from 2007-2010 and it worked fine, it only crashed few times during that time, when firefox crashes all the time and ive been using it only for 2 years. Fuck you people, Internet explorer was better and will be!

[TheJazzSwings]

Fuck IE, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to understand wine and get IE on my ubuntu, and I swear to god, I just want to throw my computer through a wall. I need it for my job, and I can't get hours without it. I have windows on dual boot, but this is the reason I don't use linux solely. I guarantee they do this on purpose just to fuck people who are new to linux into microshit. Brb, going to blow my brains out.

As you pointed out, EI is a bad thing because it uses such a different way of reading web code that we always have to fight to make things work in internet explorer where as it might work fine in ALL other webbrowsers, even my phone mostly does a better job of reading web code than internet explorer... The phrase IE hacks speaks for itselfs on how incompatible this browser really is, do you ever hear people talk about applying Firefox hacks or Chrome hacks? no... they all work, just not IE...

[gixxygamma]

Yes.... Personally only, but oh my goodness its horrible. I am in High School and run our Robotics Team's Website (I have the most experience with HTML/XHTML as well as PHP so it seemed right.

I still don't have it perfect in IE, the one time I did get it right in IE, it was off in EVERYTHING ELSE...... I hate IE, and while I am trying to fix it in IE, I don't care too much, so if it doesn't I am leaving it.

@chikenexpress36 lol

[babywolf1]

[tubeman25]
