Suckernet Exploder
A room for bashing the browser everyone loves to hate, Microsoft Internet Explorer (which I have nicknamed Suckernet Exploder).

Notice that IE7 has basically no meaningful statistics at all.

“I have again rekindled my hate for Suckernet Exploder. Internet Explorer is not only broken; it's broken in different ways in each version.” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
"WTF? THIS IS SO SIMPLE TO DO IN FIREFOX! Why in the world is everything so hard in Internet Explorer? How do people surf the Internet like this?" - http://internetducttape.com/2007...
Make PNG transparency work in Internet Explorer. Seriously cool. - http://www.hongkiat.com/blog...
This kind of crap is unnecessary in IE7, right? Please say yes.

What do you think could come in IE 9?
Less-compatible CSS and JS parsers?
- dgw
Besides, why are you asking about IE9 already? IE8 is barely known yet. I'm just crossing my fingers that Microsoft will support Web standards completely by IE100 (c. 2108). :P
- dgw
I think Microsoft is going to change as open source alternatives become more and more popular. It might be possible that IE 9 will have some tricks up it's sleeve.

@fyc: Every feature of Firefox 4 with 20 performance bugs and three ways to completely bork your computer and force a reboot. Each. :P
- dgw
MySpace-esque? God, I hope not. :P
- dgw
I'm really optimistic about IE 9, but I don't think that people will want to upgrade.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Well, people seem to like IE7 now. I mean, IE7 has the majority of IE pageviews on sites I check.
- dgw
While people like IE 7, I'm not sure if they can use the features. Some IE 7 users that I've seen appear to be oblivious to tabs.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Which do you think is better: IE5, IE6, or IE7? (If you want to vote for an earlier version, just do it. ;-)
It would have to be between IE 6 and IE 7. It's tough as I really like Firefox better than either of them, but IE 7 has tabs, but I also had a really horrific bug with it where it forced me to reboot. Canceling the process was futile.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Well hey, I like Firefox better than IE too, but someone had to ask the question. After all, this is a room for talking about Internet Explorer (sorry, Suckernet Exploder), right?
