Why does everyone hate Internet Explorer?

[SuperZambezi]

I don't get it.  :-\

I like Chrome just as much as I like IE. I don't have too many problems with either of the two.

Please explain.

I don't hate it either, but most of the time it crashes, get unknown malware, and much more. But I gotta hand it to H-J for using IE for the Nintendo E3 2011 Press Conference.

Cuz it's horribly slow, crashes a lot, and says that you get malware from sites I never get malware from.

 

[H-J Kaabii]

For some reason IE9 doesn't load Tumblr properly. (Odd since IE8's fine...)
Eeh, I haven't used IE for a little while but it's still pretty stable. XD

Filled with malware and viruses.. It's internet FAIL seeing as Firefox and chrome are way better.

 

[cookieboy17]

It crashes a lot. Like my school has Internet Explorer and it's such garbage. It pains me to use it. Anything is better than it.

I don't really have a problem with it. I just stick to it since I've used it for so long. I have Mozilla Firefox for backup. I've thought about switching permanently, but I haven't really gotten to it. =P

In a nutshell, this.

I think it's slow and pretty unresponsive for me.  I don't really like it.

I use Firefox/Opera.  (I sometimes use Opera, but lately, Opera crashes when I'm on this site.  I really don't know why.  Opera's fine on other sites.)

IE was the first one I used, since the day I learned how to use a computer, that's what I use. I'm used to it and never had any major problem with it. I've used Chrome, Safari and Firefox and it's kinda awkward when I use one of them, I'm just too used to IE even though I know it's not the best one. Right now I'm using IE and it's okay. I've tried to quit it, but it's just how the toolbars are placed and all the options you have and etc, when I use another one I just get confused.

I don't understand why people are hating it, I honestly use it and like it so yeah... some people probably don't like the speed of the navigator... me I don't have any problems on it with my computer, so yeah.

Chrome is a bit faster than Internet Explorer, but I don't really hate IE.
I don't just use it very much.

 

[canderson]

I don't really hate this browser, but as most people mentioned other browsers I simply find faster.
My biggest issue is the unknown malware and viruses that sometimes appear.

The Internet Explorer ad that I've been seeing countless times on television recently had a pretty damn interesting song. Forgot what it's called, but it's very catchy. So I guess it did something right. =P

These.

And firefox is so much more flexible and user-friendly. IE is just pure crap.

 

[madstarr]

I don't understand the hate. The browser I use for almost everything is Internet Explorer, and I've actually had more problems with Chrome and Firefox than with IE9.

 

[Reila]

From my experience IE is just incredibly slow. Although this computer is getting old so everything's slow now.

 

[Chubbo1793]

Since my last post, I have switched to Firefox. I've been using since December. I gotta say, IE is slow and very annoying compared to FF. I'm glad I chose the right one after all this time.

 

[AtomicShyguy]

Its slow, easily crashes and just isn't as good as chrome!

 

[SuperZambezi]

Speed is never an issue. It's always the same as the other browsers. No viruses or malware from IE for me, and it never crashes. If anything, Firefox crashes on me more often than anything else. The only thing I can think of is that Firefox and Chrome have add ons you can install, but that's not a reason to say IE sucks.

And don't think I am getting lucky as I use IE at school and at the library without any issues.

 

[PeachandYoshi]

IE works fine for me
