The Internet Explorer brand is dead as we know it.

Just imagine exploring the internet with Internet Exploder. Built to crash and burn on every 100th line of javascript code....
IE achieved market share through brute force and making it almost impossible for a Windows user to use anything else.
what a deplorable piece of junk it was.
Tri-Ox compound was what McCoy accidentally shot himself with..the episode was The City on the Edge of Forever, one of Trek’s very best!!
they literally took a helicopter and landed their piece of junk software on top of a blow up replica of netscape. What a bunch of tools.
Great, my stupid city’s GIS system only works under IE. Maybe this will force them to update.
I always liked Outlook Express. Full Outlook embodied the bloated feature creep typical of Microsoft. Outlook express was small, fast, and focused. Of course it got killed with the Vista launch - I’m sure there were some nasty political battles over that.

But I keep getting a phone call from a guy with an Indian accent informing me that my Microsoft operating system has been compromised. I tell him I haven’t used windows in ten years and hang up. But he keeps calling and calling and calling . . .
It had its day, like when there was nothing else. As soon as a competitor jumped on the scene IE was doomed.
Correction — it was Cordrazine ..Tri-ox compound was what McCoy gave to Kirk in Amok Time, when they went to Vulcan.
My mistake!!!
I still use it
That’s odd, I have been running it since it came on floppy’s and never ever had a system crash, the dreaded blue screen. I have had three hard drives die though, like friends that are Apple fans.
Um, okay.
Just makes me think of Blazing Saddles: "Well, my name is Jim. But most people call me ... Jim."
I always use Internet Explorer when I am out catching trolls...
IE6 was the start of crappy, non-standards compliant, proprietary MS browsers. IE11, however, is an excellent browser.
Good, have not used it in many years. never trusted the damn thing, particualrly after MS tried to force it on you insisting it was part of the OS.
It's not perfect, but better than Firefox by a nose.
