Is Internet Explorer ever going to be a safe browser

Is Internet Explorer on life support? The answer is no, absolutely not, or at least not yet. Microsoft Internet Explorer is a graphical web browser that enables users to surf the net, to visit web sites on their computer, but sometimes at a cost. Though Microsoft’s Internet browser continues to fall under scrutiny, it still leads the world in users (about 60%) with Mozilla’s ‘Firefox’ coming in second at about 30%, but IE is still the top dog (sadly). As a programmer and web designer I use all browsers to check my work, to make sure that all my web sites are functional in all browsers; Internet Explorer Mozilla Firefox Netscape Google Chrome Opera Safari These are the big hitters in the browser industry and if you ask any web designer which browser they prefer to use they will most assuredly tell you, “any of them EXCEPT INTERNET EXPLORER”. This sentiment has been echoing loud and clear in the web industry. Internet Explorer’s bad reputation isn’t just national, its global. German, French, and Australian governments have all advised us not use Internet Explorer. And now Microsoft’s Security Advisory has stated that there are security issues with Internet Explorer versions 6, 7, and 8.As a professional in the web industry, it’s frustrating seeing these IE implosions year in and year out, without any consequences for the giant Microsoft to harbor. This will continue to manifest until IE finally destroys the world. Okay, maybe that won’t happen, but when you lose all of your money out of your bank account because of a Windows security “glitch”, it might not be the end of the world but you’ll be able to see it from there.

This brings me to my point, Internet Explorer must go. We have all had our problems with them for too long now and it’s obvious that they either don’t care or just don’t know any better. Either way, enough is enough. Don’t worry though, there is a solution. Right now go to Mozilla, Netscape, Opera or any other browser for that matter and download it NOW. It will only take you a couple of minutes to assure you of a more joyous, happy and free life on the Internet. Once you’ve downloaded your new browser, turn off IE, and never, ever, open it again. If you’d like to download Firefox right now, visit http://www.webking.us, there is a safe link to download on the landing page ( I don’t make anything off of it, I’m just trying to save you from IE ). Good luck and happy browsing without IE.
