I'm tempted to show this article to a friend of mine who is currently an IE zealot. Hopefully that'll change his mind and reveal the clear truth, that Firefox is considered by quite a few people to be just plain better.

Now I feel vulnerable accessing my e-mail at school, but there's just no way around it; we can't download anything, and I need my e-mail because I routinely e-mail myself assignments so I can print them in the library (the printer I have is almost like the printer from the depths of hell itself).
This is all a big lie. Internet Explorer is used by nobody.
And if somebody actually does use it, this is the LEAST of their concerns as the mere idea of using this terrible browser should've made your computer catch every single malware there is already.

Exactly. The Escapist community spends a lot of time on their computers, and ergo knows a thing or two about them. The average yutz who just wants to get their email knows nothing about Firefox or Chrome, nor do they really want to.Indigo_Dingo said:
Seriously, ask yourself how many people you know who use a computer. Not just the geeks who live on them (like us), but literally everyone you know who uses a computer. Now, how many of those people do you think are savvy enough, or interested enough, to hunt down a different browser?
I love the about:memory page on Chrome, where it shows you what a mammoth IE is. At least it's new enough for there to be hardly, if any, exploits for it yet.
[Rant] I tried showing that to my little brother, who my mother thinks knows everything about computers because he's got a bleeding Y chromosome... It took me THREE DAYS to clean my sisters PC after he installed some cracks (aka. Crackz) for several Popcap games on there.
I WILL get to my mothers PC when she's not looking. There are thirteen cracked games on there and almost nothing else - when I take the spyware off the games stop working, and I get told off and instructed to put the damn keyloggers back on so the games will work again! How can anyone who knows how to access more than Task Manager do such a thing! I explained that strange people in Nigeria and Russia will know everything she does, and it doesn't work! As long as the flashy gems keep falling down the screen it's all good! Aaaarrrgh! [/Rant]
