Internet Explorer Sucks. Period.

By

Internet Explorer continues to disappoint. Currently I am trying to figure the reason behind Internet Explorer rendering Computer Realm like this occasionally:

computer-realm-internet explorer

However all the other popular browsers Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari (in no particular order except for the first one!) renders the site perfectly.

Earlier, when Computer Realm Software was separate from the blog with its separate template, Internet Explorer somehow felt the need to render certain text in the footer in luminous purple while there was no mention of that color anywhere in the CSS.

Sadly, with Windows being the most popular OS, and users willing to stick with the default browser, Internet Explorer still has a good slice of browser share, on Computer Realm 39% of visits are from Internet Explorer.  Most other websites have a good piece of their traffic pie from IE users so developers and webmasters spend a good part of their time trying to get websites rendering correctly just for IE.

Microsoft is pushing the new IE 8 hard to the community and looking to market it by reaching the hearts of users, however I’m afraid that marketing campaign won’t go far as it is apparently giving away $0.14 meals to Feeding America!

Reading this via IE? What are you waiting for? Make your switch!

PS – If anyone knows how I could fix the IE rendering issue I’d appreciate the feedback in the comments.

      The reason so many people use IE is because they LITE IT !! …. Get over it.

      hmmm… LITE IT !! Perhaps LIKE IT would be a better choice? But that may be why you do so enjoy the worst browser. And I have no idea why.

      Personally I cannot stand Internet explorer. Actually, I don’t know anyone who can stand it. Although apparently the commenter above me loves it. Though I haven’t used Chrome or Opera, I am sure those are also loads better then IE.

      Till then,

      Yes, i’d prefer chrome and opera to IE as well, and the latest IE8 failed the acid3 test miserably (20/100 score) which speaks for itself.

      I used this theme before, and the same problem come when I edited the theme. I assume you try to edited the theme.

      I totally agree IE sucks, some website when open with firefox is ok but when open with IE the website not display correctly. Maybe the IE need to change their browser engine before they can solve this problem.

      I left AOL in hopes of something better, but everything about is so much worst! There is always something poping up stating something is wrong! The email SUCKS. It always has something of a problem! It Sucks. I hate to use that word , but that is how frustrating it is!

      Works fine with IE9. Stop complaining and start browsing using the new & advanced IE9.
