People do forget that IE was legitimately a good browser for quite a while - starting around IE3 it really did quite well. Plus I'll take IE4 + NN4 issues vs IE6/7/8 issues in 20-freaking-14 (or beyond, argh). IE9 at least fixed a lot.
At least the early IE vs NN stuff was fast to change and interesting. IE6 issues were the exact opposite :(
- LoSboccacc 9y agoThe real explorer issue was that xp refused to die for the longest time. When those browser came out they were kinda fine in context, they got lot of hate a decade later when the world moved onto new standard but you still had 10%+ users living in the past
- abritinthebay 9y agoWell that and they refused to update it for 5 years AND refused to EoL it for 7. It was entirely due to MS’s negligence, not just XP.
