Any way to turn autocorrect off? Anyhow, it was not causing havoc on my email address or password, so I am mystified. I uninstalled the thing, and may download and reinstall and try again when I have more patience. |

No, Internet Explorer just doesn't use the standards because they use their own backend. So when we code websites, everything works fine in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Dolphin, Silk, ICS default browser, but then you open up IE and BOOM! One little problem that makes your website look horrible.
Just look at any website's code, and you'll ALWAYS see notes about fixing stuff to look better. Even Amazon's site has specific things for IE in their code. I personally do use Internet Explorer myself when I'm on a Windows machine, and I know it's still heavily used by many others. However, you have to understand that in order to make the experience good on it, most designers and developers have had to pull their hair out working extra hours or days just to fix it. |

I couldn't even get IE9 to function long enough to download something else on a laptop. I had to go back to IE 8 and then do it.

I still prefer InstaPaper's feature that will send a webpage's content straight to my Kindle with one click. Unfortunately there's no official Android app for IP.
The company I work for, with 20+K employees does not allow any browsers except IE. AND, if I ask most of my co-workers what browser they use on their home computers the usual answer is "What's a browser?"/ |

Microsoft accused a internet statistic company of juicing the numbers when Chrome overtook IE last month. So I don't who to trust on that. Yes as a techy person I loath IE9. Last edited by Blossom; 04-19-2012 at 01:56 PM. |

Amen!
I have been using computers since 1981 and when Windows 1.0 came along, as a DOS nut, I hated that, as well as every iteration of that OS. However, I succumbed as more and more good programs required it. If I were not so immersed in Windows (XP is as far as I will go), I'd go to Linux, but there you are. I was ecstatic when Mozilla came along with a browser, and have never used IE since, except for a couple of idiotic developers that require it. Including, of course, MS which makes me use it for Win updates. Things have changed drastically since the "old days" of computers when we were all tech phreaks. Now, computers are just a tool, which is OK, but the vast majority of users are pretty dense when it comes to the machines. Thus, the infuriating IE. |
