June 06 2014
Internet Explorer is, for me, the last Internet browser to use. I’m not sure why it is even an option for Internet access these days. Using IE in 2014 is the equivalent of using NetZero as your Internet service provider in 2014. There are probably a few people wondering what NetZero is, which is my point exactly. Even though Internet Explorer has been the go-to choice year after year, things have changed. As recently as April 28, 2014, the United States government warned US citizens to stop using Internet Explorer because of security breaches.
“This is how it works: Hackers set up a website that installs malware when you visit it. If you’re duped into visiting the website while using the Internet Explorer program, malware seeps into your computer and gives a stranger total control. You might not even notice,” according to CNN Money Magazine. “That’s where the real danger lies. Anyone in control of your computer can spy on everything you do. If it’s a PC at work, hackers can reach into anything an employee has access to.”
What’s wrong with Internet Explorer?
From a web development standpoint, Internet Explorer is the 13-year-old tween that just will not grow up. Line after line of code is needed to ensure Internet Explore will cooperate with design changes, website enhancements and just about everything that makes the web a seamless place to browse. There are a wealth of features available, both visual and functional, that are available in every web browser except Internet Explorer.
