XHTML is the future of the web, and the most important part of it is the MIME type used to serve it. Although most web sites are served with the MIME type of text/html, the latest version of XHTML (version 1.1) needs to be served with a MIME type of application/xhtml+xml.

Internet Explorer doesn’t understand this important MIME type, but every other browser does. Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Konqueror are all standards compliant. Internet Explorer is not standards compliant.  ie sucks and should be banned now.

So I’m giving my readers fair warning and giving them a mechanism to install Firefox. They’ll be so much better off if they switch as ie sucks and sucks and we want it dead.

Yeah, ie sucks, every attempt at dom based scripting always leads to headaches with IE. CSS scripting is a pain. The market is all IE, so as a web developer, you have to support the damn thing.

I couldnt tell you how many hours ive spent trying to develop something around IE. First, dev it in FireFox (1 hour), then, get it working in IE (2+ hours). Its crazy, i couldnt really care about the security of the thing, leave that to MS to mess things up.

Solution, if you cant get rid of IE because stupid people still use it (and ultimately end up paying more on dev time). then you need a work around. A abstracted layer for dom scripting would be nice. As for the CSS and rendering problems, abstract that away with additional script. Web sites get slower, everyone suffers, angry people throw bricks at MS. Revolution !

Why We “Dislike” IE and why we say IE sucks?

The biggest problem with IE and maybe with Microsoft as well is that they would rather set some sort of standard even though the rest of the World is using another one that is working very well. In IE this is very apparent and when you design a website, 99% of the time, it will not display the same as any other one of the famous browsers out there such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and funnily enough its replacement IE 7 and IE 8 (get that for a joke).

So now when you design a site you have to split it into 3 phases.
1. The initial design phase
2. The “See if it works in IE” phase
3. Then lastly the “Fix all the IE issues” phase

IE has been found to be the browser that sucks all over the web because of many complaints about its compatibility with web standards and many many other trouble while using internet explorer. IE is violating web standards and now we want it DEAD.

The IE sucks campaign is all about showing the world the troubles of using the web browser IE. There are currently many browsers with cool features. IE renders web sites badly and inconsistently.

Please support the IE sucks campaign and help make the internet a better place by killing the Internet Explorer Browser!

A message for IE users

Internet Explorer 7 promotion campaign

Uninstall Internet Explorer!

You should stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer. This is because:

1. It is insecure . Many exploits were discovered in it so far, and more are constantly discovered.
2. It lags behind other browsers in standards-compliance and so prevents web designers from using some very nice tricks in their pages. Some of this is caused by the many bugs it has.
3. It does not have many of the usability features that more modern browsers like Mozilla or Opera have. Use a different browser for a while and you wouldn’t want to switch back.
4. You’ll need to upgrade the OS, in order to update it , as Microsoft announced that it won’t be updated separately anymore.

IE = SHIT
