This is an interesting topic. I automatically assume that it's a direct correlation to the type of visitors who use IE.
Here's a study from 2012 that shows IE users are prone to be significantly older than Chrome users, suggesting that your website appeals mainly to an older audience.

- toddsiegel 12y ago#1 sounds a little more plausible, otherwise this would probably be a more common occurrence. Perhaps something about it appeals to grandparents.
- choosenick 12y agoOne suggestion is that IE users are more likely to have been directly referred by word of mouth, and so more likely to buy
- Kronopath 12y agoYou don't have to call them stupid. The product is a book aimed at young children. Older people are more likely to be parents or grandparents. So those that are more likely to use IE are also more likely to be the target audience. The book seems really cute, as well, and a clever idea. If I was older and had a kid, I might have even considered buying it.

- nerdzero 12y agoMashable posted a followup a few days later saying that study was most likely a hoax: http://mashable.com/2011/08/03/ie-users-dumb-hoax/ http://mashable.com/2011/08/03/ie-users-dumb-hoax/
- jesserwilliams 12y agoI never saw that followup - Thank you for clarifying.
