It messes up my pages and it’s giving me headaches.
Images won’t load, and text is backwards?
Lame, just lame. I’m not even going to bother with this anymore, and the sad
thing is lots of people still use this piece of garbage, and the
only reason why I’m using it right now is to check the compatibility of my
website. Well forget that.

Hopefully the day will come when internet explorer shit browser disappears and Firefox prevails. Internet Explorer sucks so much, we won’t stop this internet explorer sucks campaign.

For the past 15 mins I’ve been sitting in front of my PC starring at the image u can see above.

Refresh / Load / Reload  / close and reopen – nothing is working seems to work!!!  Everytime it’s the same crap!

I was logging into IEsucks just for time pass but now can u imagine: u have an important work to do, a research to make, a mail to send and all u get is craps like above???

The page can’t load in IE but when u try with other browsers it loads without any difficulty. It remains a fact that most organizations or even individuals still use IE but then why don’t they improve the browser.. or if they can’t then WIPE IT OUT.

IE sucks sucks sucks!
IE is DUMB!
IE is ROTTEN!
IE is SHIT!

To be true am not an expert like some of those who have posted on this blog.  Most of the words are too technical for me (like an alien language LOL).  But one thing is clear and even a common user like me will understand this: IE SUCKS, it’s dumb and not at all user friendly as they are trying to make us believe.

Below are two screenshots of error windows that I frequently came across while using IE

Here if you do the mistake of clicking on Cancel it closes all the IE pages you have opened (all your efforts are gone in few seconds only).  So many times I’ve nearly broken my PC because of this and have had to restart my searches afresh!!! A real PAIN!!!

Whenever I saw these I thought “Gosh my PC is getting old!!! I must change and take a brand new one with latest technologies and facilities.  (I know some of you must be laughing at me but well I just really didn’t know that my poor PC is not to be blamed) and then I would often come across these at work also (hey i’ve got a brand new PC there!!!!) so  the truth is that INTERNET EXPLORER has become OLD, PERISHED, STALE!!!!  and must be removed (I would say banned!!!!)

This is how I started looking on the net and try to understand this “PHENOMENON”.  Many persons have expressed their dissatisfaction with IE but so far nothing has been done to either improve or to ERADICATE it (which seems more appropriate to me).

So my message to all the BIG BRAINS out there is “IF YOU’VE GOT ANY BRAIN LEFT PLS PLS PLS PITY US AND WIPE OUT IE FROM THE NET AND SAVE US THE MANY TROUBLES THAT WE ARE FACING!!!!!!!!!!!” IE is the worst (or rather “worstest”!!! If only this word existed LOL) browser ever developed and for common users like us it is a real headache, a pain in the a**! IE sucks and its FINAL!

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 !

After seeing that, you can check out http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2006/8/16/4999, which is a response to IE Group Program Manager’s response to people bitching about IE and standards compliance.  I found this after building a Web Site in Visual Web Developer 2005 (a Micro$oft product) and having it look perfect in FireFox, only to bring it up in Internet Explorer and having some wierd shit happen.  An ASP:Panel changed border styles and text colors (white text was showing up as blue, even if I used ‘#FFFFFF’ instead of ‘White’).

We’ve known each other for 8 years now . We had our good and bad times. Remember those blank night we spend together, you were messing up my css layout and i had to fix it.

Hey buddy i think you had your time , now please leave.

Sincerely,

IEsucks.info

Wanna say goodbye please drop a comment

Then the reason is that IE can’t be treated as a browser! IE = Shit! IE is so dumb! And finally because IE SUCKS!
