INTERNET MARKETING

I made the mistake of installing Explorer 9 (I have OS Windows 7) and it's a disaster in every respect - it takes up unnecessary cache memory, it doesn't show most webpages in a readable way etc.
If you installed Explorer 9 and regret it, here is how to uninstall it:

To uninstall Internet Explorer
The following instructions apply to both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
1. Click the Start button , type Programs and Features in the search box, and then click View installed updates in the left pane.
2. Under Uninstall an update, scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section.
3. Right-click Windows Internet Explorer 9, click Uninstall, and then, when prompted, click Yes.
4. Click one of the following:
• Restart now (to finish the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 9, and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer).
• Restart later (to wait until you shut down or restart your computer).

Note
After you uninstall Internet Explorer 9 Beta, the previously installed version of Internet Explorer will be available on your computer. It is not necessary to reinstall.

I just uninstalled it and now everything is fine, Thank God!

Thats why I never use IE. Firefox for my fast SEO stuff (thanks to the cool plugins) and Chrome for normal browsing.

It sounds to me like all previous versions of Internet Explorer too!!!

Seriously... And people continue to use those products also...

Just because YOU don't like the "benefits" that an application offers does not mean that the whole world should not install that application!

  Well a lot of non internet marketing people...people who surf and just buy products...use IE a lot! And if you are going to reach people to buy products, then you really need to keep this fact in mind no matter how bad IE sucks.
  
  So if you build a website, you should make sure it looks good in a number of different browsers. That's why.
  
  Thanks

  Have you checked your web sites' stats for browsers? My visitors are predominantly IE users. Should I not care about their experience on my sites because I think IE is garbage?
  
  I hate IE. Or, at the very least, I have strong negative feelings about it. Used IE for about 2 weeks back in '95, then switched over to Netscape 1.0...
  
  I resent sites that force me to use IE, (like Paypal Manager).
  
  BUT... my customers use IE, so I will continue to make my sites IE friendly. However, I still reserve the right to b***h about it.

It's still in beta testing. If it has problems, report them to the IE9 dev team, not bitch and moan about it on an IE forum.

I too don't trust IE that much, and I find Firefox head and shoulder above the rest. The ability for addons are just so amazing.... I kind of wonder whether Apple got the ideas for iPhone apps from Mozilla???? Anyway, unfortunately when you use windows some of the calls it makes to the internet requires you to install Windows Internet Explorer, and you can't get away from not installing IE. ;-(

  I predict IE's overall market share will erode dramatically in the near future, especially if the full release version of IE9 turns out to be a big, bloated and excruciatingly slow dud just like IE8 is.

Thanks for your post.

I never use Internet Explorer.

Generally I like to use Mozilla Firefox. But now a days it is doing some problem. Some tiles it crashes.

Beside this I like Google Chrome. It is perfect for browsing.

I like chrome a lot. Big window, no fluff.

If a website is built correctly it's going to look nearly identical on all browsers. You run into problems with amateur web designers who pimp out their sites with the latest css3 junk and only test their work on FF.

But it does show that IE is the last browser a marketer should ignore and should honestly be the browser a site is optimized for. If your site works with IE it will most likely work with all browsers where the reverse is far from true.

Hi Jason,

That is not a negligible aspect, I think. There are many people who use IE yet. Consider which browser is preferred by your audience. You are building your sites to them, not just for yourself.

Best,

Sandor

The SICK thing is that MS wants to take over the internet. Two of their actions towards that goal are:

1. Tie IE into windows, so windows users have to have it.
2. Provide methods that use IE, and encourage developers to use them. This doesn't use a standard API for IE!

So sooner or later, you will likely have to upgrade to SOMETHING. Maybe v10 will be better.

Steve

I actually switched to using IE (version 9) for a short while, and didn't mind it, overall. Much better than previous versions. I'm back to using FireFox again, though, as I'm just more accustomed to it, and like all the add-ons.

The only issue I had with IE was that the Lenovo Thinkpad fingerprint-scanning software I use to input all my passwords and such seemed to function a tad slower in that than in FireFox, and occasionally required me to refresh a page twice before it'd pop up.

  Internet Explorer8 is far from perfect (it doesn't show a lot of webpages the way it should - the graphics all jumbled up etc.). However it's MUCH better than Internet Explorer9! I also have Internet Explorer8 on my Windows7. My default browser is Google Chrome and that is - as others have said above - much better!

Firefox is the best for IMers, hands down (whatever hands down means ) but like has been stated multiple times here our customers do use IE because they are idiots errrr not as internet savy as we are. You def need to be able to check your sites in multiple browsers.

Personally, I use Chrome.

But, in regards to other people using IE, it might be because they don't know any better.

Microsoft Windows still dominates the market and IE comes installed with it. I don't think my parents even know that there are options other than IE and they both use the Internet everyday.

  Yes, indeed.
  
  I installed the 4.0 beta the other day, and it was very nice. I had to "downgrade" though, because my "fingerprint scanner" plugin kept spitting out errors with it, and I'm so accustomed to using it for logins and such that I can't live without it anymore!

You are building your sites to them, not just for yourself.

If I have to test my work on another browser I will scream
Chrome better be the last one.
Unfortunately IE developers feel they have to upgrade so many times
and each version is more messed up than the last.
But like someone pointed out, some of our customers use IE. :confused:
