old "Exterminate Internet Explorer" petition

Hey guys.
Today I created a petition with one goal in my mind: make people switch to better browser, or in other words: (literally) exterminate Internet Explorer.
Yes, that's right. All of you know that this browser sucks.
This is pretty much for fun, of course I want to make an impact, which I doubt.
The objective is to reach 1000 signatures before July 20th, this year, which I hardly doubt, that's why if it doesn't reach a high number before that, I'll extended the limit.
Just a few seconds and you could help to make an impact. If at least most of the active Unreal Software users signed, we'd get 100 signatures quickly.
It's simple: simply put your real first and last names (don't worry, you can hide 'em), birth date and where you live (this also isn't shown to the public); you may also answer 2 optional questions and that's it!

You mean, exterminate internet explorer 6? AFAIK that's the biggest problem ATM (even though some of the latest versions of IE still don't display my pages as most browsers do) because it's VERY outdated and it has still got a good portion of the market share.

I also heard good things about the newest version of IE (the 9th version for those who happen to care).

But he wants you to use Firefox shit.


LOL OPINIONS.

I'll admit, while Internet Explorer isn't a brilliant web browser it's still okay for what it is. Sure, you get less stuff with it but it truly isn't that bad.

Web browsers are the past. I personally stick the internet cable in the corresponding slot in my head and read the internetz directly. Beat all.


Good lord.

You're like a robot.

well.. people, here's a secret hint: flaming is forbidden. read the rules already!

older versions of the IE are the worst. even Microsoft itself tries to "exterminate" IE 6 because it's old, dangerous and ignores all standards. they also started a campaign and a website (don't remember the URL) for this.

Microsoft is aware of the mistakes and they are trying hard to improve their browsers and I think that they are doing a good job.

so my opinion about this:
exterminating IE completely: not necessary because IE becomes better and better and maybe a real alternative.
exterminating OLD IE version: YES! PLEASE! they make webdesign so much harder because they render everything wrong. plus they are totally insecure.

Well, I'll stick to FireFox (pre-releases 3.3.16pre and 4.0b13pre) because it allows me to actually regulate the behaviour of my browser (at least more than IE and easier than in Chrome). It's a shame it takes so long for Mozilla to release a stable 4.0 though. I still get updates for both of my versions of Firefox pretty much every day.

I'm pretty happy with Chromium 9 too, though I don't use it too
often. I don't know why, actually.

IE9 seems to be pretty good indeed, at least those who're using it are satisfied with it (even some who used to be anti-IE). Especially the integration appears to be great.

But since I have developed a dislike for pretty much all of Microsoft's shit I won't use IE.

I am using IE (IE 8 I mean) from the time I got my computer and I never been "mad on it". It runs perfectly and got no errors.

And more, if I noticed well, IE 8 is doing every font smoother - so that's an advantage!

I'll also give a try to Chrome, to see how's it.
