use internet explorer! January 20th 2005, mr.doob
Probably you are aware that lately there were some "new" browsers on the streets, well, actually one, Firefox. But, be clever and don't use them. Let's see why:

1. Nobody uses Firefox as it don't come with the OS. Only some geeks are using it.
2. A lot of pages doesn't work well with Firefox as they are optimized for Internet Explorer (as it's the most used browser).
3. With Firefox you can't change the colour of the scrollbars.
4. You can install the Avantbrowser to add the tabbing system to Internet Explorer as well (something not really useful).
5. With Firefox you can't use the windowsupdate web service.
6. Internet Explorer adds some great break lines to make the page clearer.
7. Internet Explorer does have great support with Macromedia Flash, only have some small problems at Mac version of Internet Explorer.
8. Internet Explorer does have the best image viewer ever, with a very well optimized resize tool. 9. Internet Explorer doesn't have RSS integrated reader, but who cares? nobody uses that technology!
10. Within Internet Explorer you can use internet based applications to add icons on your desktop, change your default page and add new tabs on your explorer with special search engines. If you need, you can format your hard disk with it as well.

So, use Internet Explorer!

IE is dying man what are you talking about ? it's the WORST web browser ever :) you can see for your self http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
plus almost all the HTML 5 examples doesn't work on IE simply because it doesn't support Canvas tag so FF is really the king of browsers the fastest and the smartest join the winners of the open source community :)
