IE, or Internet Explorer, is the biggest junk Microsoft ever created, End Point!

There are better options out there, everyone knows that, such as Mozilla Firefox. Why people still didn't change their browser is what I can't understand. Firefox is in everywhere, in ads, text, links, images, so I think it's almost impossible that you, Internet Explorer user, still didn't know about it.

And I'm sure you have your big reason NOT to change.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend you. But when people prefer IE over another good browsers, knowing that IE has lots of security holes, its core isn't updated for more than 4 years, it doesn't support navigation by tabs, neither supports extensions (plugins) or themes..

But wait!! Those are all user-side features. So what's the problem in everyone using IE and I'm the only one using another browser?

Well, if you think like that, then you're wrong. For web designers and web programmers, that does matter. Not everyone knows this but IE fails to support the web standards! With another words web designers and programmers need to change or add lots of code lines to their websites to make them IE friendly.

So webmasters need to write sometimes hours of web code so their website shows properly to IE users, when just with the basic and normal code would work perfectly for Firefox users. and the worse it that the hours spent on the additional code could be used to update and change the code to make web surfing more enjoyable, easy and safe for everyone.

If you have a bigger reason than this, then I'll not argue more about it. But if you did understand the problems that IE is causing not only to the users that use it, but to the whole web itself, then it's never to late to change.
