I hate Internet Explorer!

I've been using Firefox on the desktops and notebooks for over 10 years, and Safari on the iPhone/iPad -- and hadn't even fired up IE for years.

Big mistake no checking as dozens of my web sites that looked good on Firefox/Chrome/Safari -- had all kinds of display errors on IE. I spent a good part of last week fixing all of these sites -- with compromises the other browsers didn't need.

some of the problems were:

  • banners on the forums wouldn't line up. Fixed with upgrading to VB4 and doing a different banner concept
  • more than one eBay ad would cause one of the to display on the left side of the screen. Fixed by limiting to one.
  • navbar gradients won't display on IE. No fix
  • I can't get the embedded YouTube videos on sites like www.bigredram.com to work. Haven't found the solution yet


I can remember when IE was the best browser (when compared to AOL and Netscape's Navigator) -- but it sure sux now. You have to dumb down sites for those still using it.

What browser/version is the browser you most often use -- and what do you like hate about it?
