IE 6 - version is considered the worst of Internet Explorer.
IE 6 was given 'a special place' by PC World magazine in the list of 8 worst products of all time. By the end of last year, large companies including Google and YouTube had canceled all support for browsing their site on IE 6.
In 2006, Microsoft released IE 7, which has not fixed many of the previous versions. IE 8 was released in 2009, this version fixes a series of bugs on older versions, but it still has problems with Web content standards and backward compatibility.
Last March, Microsoft released IE 9, the best browser version of IE ever. More stable, fewer errors and received some compliments from users but the browsing speed of IE 9 is still quite slow. This version has yet to make the user completely satisfied.
The most prominent error that all versions of IE have made is the page layout error. While other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox or even Safari perform this function well, it seems to be quite a difficult task for IE.
Besides, IE does not allow specific areas on the browser for users to place icons of images, text, tools . at will. The way IE works is the same as the browser was born and acquired the browser market at the time: forcing users to use it rather than serving the user's needs.
Even bit codes written in JavaScript always work well on other browsers that have problems in IE. Many web designers and programmers have to admit that it takes a lot of time and effort to build a website that works well on IE.
Browser market share statistics worldwide.
According to StatCounter 's latest statistics, Internet Explorer still holds 40.63% of the browser market share worldwide, while those of Chrome and Firefox are 25.69% and 25.23, respectively. % However, IE's grasp of the largest number of browser market share is simply because the browser is defaulted on all devices running Microsoft's Windows operating system.
According to StatCounter about the Vietnam market after last November, Firefox is dominant in the first place with 39.13%, followed by Chrome with 31.52%. IE only ranked third with 26.88% market share.
Browser market share statistics in Vietnam.
What is the main problem here? Users know how to choose the best product for themselves and eliminate the weaker products. IE is gradually being boycotted by users and switching to browsers with better speed and features like Chrome or Firefox.
Times have completely changed. IE has no monopoly like it was in Microsoft's golden years. Users are no longer governed by the only web browser as IE. Chrome, Firefox and other browsers were created to serve and satisfy users, not like the " dictator " IE.
Until Microsoft has not endured ' humble ' and developed IE with the aim of serving users' needs, IE must " die "!
