Does anyone still use MS IE?

I use Maxthon, which is simple-looking with a lot of nice features. I got used to it. Since I have it blocking ads, I have to use IE to view them when I need them.

What about you?

I use Safari on the OS X, Mozilla 1.4 on the Mac OS 9.2.2, and I alternate between Firefox and Avant Browser on the WinXP.

I use Mozilla Firefox usually for sites I never went to before cause I hate spyware. I use internet explorer for my daily sites (usualy ones) like xanga...because Firefox can't seem to play the music on xangas.
I miss tech. I miss all my friends. I wish I could go back.

I use IE. Its easier n more convienient,p which was probably MS plan. Some badly programmed websites dont even support Mozilla. It does have some cool features so will give it props for that

Hopefully Microsoft's Longhorn IE would be much better, more smooth, and more efficient against pop-ups, ads, and junk.

I feel naked using IE. There's no real protection. It's ugly looking too, in my opinion.

I stick with IE. Firefox or any other browser is no better for me.

Also, on a sidenote, Firefox is a pain in the rear for us web developers. It can get extremely picky and throws wild JavaScript errors. Thus, forcing me to spend many hours finding ways to accomodate both browsers.

That, I guess, is the inherent problem with IE. It is open.
