I know that the article says this is a comedy website, but are they also trying to be "funny" on their testimonials page. (Capitalisation is direct copy/paste, I'm not shouting! )
> "IE9 OFFERS FUNCTIONALITY THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN ANY OTHER BROWSER."
Like, lack of developer tools and the requirement to buy a new operating system?
> "IE9 is one of PCWorlds best products"
That reminds me why I haven't shopped at PCWorld ever.
> "INTERNET EXPLORER 9 TAKES THE BROWSER SECURITY CROWN."
Just no. This one won't even hard to disrepute.
> Chrome sucks, freezes on FB, back on IE and it seems to be great! #Chrome #FB #IE9
This is in the testimonials page by some randomer with 5 followers.

Yeah, everything on their testimonials page is totally a bag of lies. I actually thought whoever made the site was trying to be serious, but then I saw they quoted Engadget.
> "The new IE is way better than Chrome, especially in terms of safety. You are only fooling yourself to stay loyal to one browser"
Engadget have never said this. The article they link to for this testimonial is actually,

- JeremyBanks 15y agoDig through the comments to that post and you'll find the quote on page four: http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/microsoft-expands-internet-explorer-push-with-new-tv-ad/#comment-457796466 http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/microsoft-expands-interne... That's one damn misleading citation from Microsoft. Almost makes you think they couldn't find a decent one...
- abraham 15y agoIE 8+ has dev tools. They are not designed very well but they provide a lot of the functionality of Chrome/Fx.
- kevingadd 15y agoSorry, IE has had built in dev tools for ages. The current dev tools in IE9 are better than those shipped with Firefox, and on par with Chrome's. (and I say this as someone who's been using Firefox as a primary browser for years).
