Users of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed. Source BBC.
IE cake in the browser market roughly equates to 75%. Now there’s an obvious reason why you have to switch browser.
For once, we can have better looking web on Opera, Firefox, Safari and Chrome. That’s a smile on every web developer‘s face.
ps: Even if they fixed it, will you use it? I certainly won’t.

good anouncement. since its the giant in the industries, sure alot of people want to take advantages of it.. “Big tree invite winds”.
ada apa dgn IE.. kalaulah aku ada kuasa lenyapkan terus IE ni dari dunia ni, kan semua web developer mampu tersengih2 sampai juling..
That came at no surprise to me, and I rarely use IE7 except for testing purposes 
I have this monogamous relationship with Firefox 3, teehee! Even if I am forced not to use Firefox, I will definitely use Google Chrome or Safari as an alternative. Never ever will IE be part of my endeavours in the Internet. It sounds mean, but that’s it, Microsoft.
I am still wondering why on earth people are using IE6

I’m guessing there’s many out there prefer what Microsoft builds. Like Microsoft words. OpenOffice works just as fine as anyone else and it’s free. Well, Microsoft Office is literally free 
Rasanya skrg visitor yg dgt blog sy yg guna IE dah makin berkurang…ertinya ramai juga yg makin sedar..harap…harap

Same here. Firefox macam 54%, 35% IE, selebihnya yg lain.
definitely nope.. i started to fall in love with chrome. my blog full of google chrome accidentally tutorial..
ahaha…
IE only for desperate time. no very needed, but sometime will.

Chrome is not compatible with WordPress. That’s why I dont use Chrome so often
why eh..for me it just marvellous. FYI i’m using plaintxt. so it look like no error were found.for me. chrome is bling bling just like it’s name.
my opinion la..
I’m using IE….wah feel so outdated now. Okay lah switching to Chrome tonight. I heart Google. I let it rule my online life.
………Does that sound creepy to you? =p

Google loves Firefox and Chrome or vice versa.
Nothing wrong with using IE. It eats up a lot of RAM and a bit slow when downloading web pages.
there is STILL certain website that force you to use IE..ie, bluehyppo e-browse.. :down: :down:

Still too early my friend. Or maybe their web developer sucks?
Though I know Chrome is good and among the fastest browser, I’m stick to Firefox 3.1 Beta still.
Have a look at this browser benchmarking test:

I use Chrome to search and read blogs. It loads a hell lot faster than anyone else.
agree. Just leave it.
IE is way too slow for loading pages.
Firefox is my choice of usage.
And Opera, ahh, the best to load youtube videos! Haha~
apa-apapun i suka Firefox lagi.. 
I am not using IE, given choice! So slow.. prefer FF or Chrome anytime!
What irks me is, those company computers, IE is bundled with Windows, and the only browser you can use. Forced market, manipulative Microsoft if you ask me 
Ehem, I always go and download FF to my personal station.
but then i still hate it when i have to design to looks nice for all browsers..
hatiku gembira bila membaca title post ni. hahaha
hehe ie ni zaman sekolah je pakai..skrg tak lagi..
aku lebih suka firefox, flock dan chrome laju oo
i love firefox~ :XO: :XO:
“Browser Support” is and orthodox approach for web development and it is bad for web development if this ideas is still going on.
Instead, take “Standard Support” approach. Let people take note for each every standard that has been ratified W3C. So, that people note that if you browsing and site look ugly. Than, you are not running on ratified standard.
Now, let throw away. “Please use [browser] bla…..” . Instead, use “Please make sure your browser support [put W3C standards here]“.
NoktahHitam replied #1
Even if you were to build according to W3C standards, not all browser can support.
Go Google “ie does not support w3c”.
lerr..aku baru post ari ni..dah ramai tau rupanya :halo:
