Death to Internet Explorer

Posted by Devin Johnston on May 13th, 2009

I want to take a quick break from politics to urge my readers to do something very important: stop using Internet Explorer. There are about a million and twenty-six reasons not to use the Microsoft web browser that comes bundled with Windows (some of which are outlined later in this post). Instead, I strongly encourage you to use a better, safer, and faster web browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. When I design websites, I deliberately include features that do not work on Internet Explorer as a way to reward people using a proper web browser. For example, the navigational tabs you see at the top of the screen appear rounded in Firefox and Chrome, rather than clunky and square as they appear in Internet Explorer. In fact, most of this website won't render at all in older versions of Internet Explorer.
