Internet Explorer is terrible. http://jasonhdavis.com/blog/2008/06/14/wow-internet-explorer-is-terrible/ http://jasonhdavis.com/blog/2008/06/14/wow-internet-explorer-is-terrible/#comments Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:02:59 +0000 Jason http://www.jasonhdavis.com/blog/index.php?/archives/84-guid.html Mostly using a Mac, I don’t have access to Internet Explorer. I looked at the redesign of my website today on IE 7 and it looks terrible. There’s nothing there (hardly). It’s terrible that the most”;advanced” browser from one of the largest software companies in the world does not render code correctly. I shutter to think that the site looks on Internet Explorer 6.

What’s sad is only around 20% of web users use Firefox which scores a 71/100 on the Acid 3 test for Web Standards compliance. Internet Explorer gets a 12; it doesn’t even render the text correctly.

Firefox 3 will be released on the 16th and hopes to set the world record for most software downloads in one day. They’re calling the release Download Day (D-Day).

I’ve been using Firefox 3 for the past 4 months or so and absolutely love it. With each new Beta version that comes out I’ve seen better and more useful features being added. I’ll be downloading it on D-day along with over a million other people. It really is the best browser out there, even the Wall Street Journal thinks so.

Anyway, that’s enough software soap-boxing for today. I’m off to use hacks to make my website complaint with Internet Explorer.
