Do Firefox users really hate IE that much?Written by Abdulrehman on January 23rd, 2009
Everyone begins his journey on the internet with Internet Explorer(As far as I and people I know are concerned). But as time passes we learn about new things and try them out, one of them probably being the browser. All browsers have had their times, but as the growing stats are showing, Firefox is having the highest growth rate in terms of percentage of internet users.
However, when people switch from Internet explorer to Firefox most are either influenced or a natural hatred for Internet Explorer develops. Time and again, I have seen Firefox supporters coming with ways to condemn Internet Explorer and to some extent even Google has supported Firefox until they launched Google Chrome. Well, it’s about time to have a look at the best ‘Firefox superior than IE’ pictures and animations I found:
After seeing so many of these amusing pictures a question rises at the back of the head, Internet Explorer to Firefox users could not have done this alone, there was a certain backing behind the ‘condemn Internet Explorer’ scheme. However, I have also started recently seeing some anti-Firefox pictures made by Internet Explorer users. My question is: Do Firefox users really hate IE that much? (I like this animation)

I use IE and Firefox interchangably. No real preference… I have not tried out Google Chrome yet, but I am thinking about doing so soon.

I think more tech-savvy persons prefer Firefox. But I believe many big organizations still stick to that old IE.
I find this post funny - but true!

MIcrosoft still has a browser?
I love Safari. The bookmark bar is so clean and efficient. It’s never a distraction. Perfect design for a browser. No arguing against Firefox. It’s a great product, but I still go with Safari. With Chrome coming along, it’s a crowded field.

IE is in the same boat with Mac. BLEECH! The only time I use IE is if I’m working somewhere and they won’t let me use Firefox.

Geez, I’m sorry to say it but yes, I hate IE that much.it’s got to do with clunky stuff and not being able to option things in or out of my browser scheme.
Also, I’m irritated because I always have to go through special little hoops whenever I publish anything so that the freakin’ thing will show up ok in IE (When it shows up just fine in EVERY other browser.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent - wow, THAT feels better

As someone who writes web apps IE has wasted thousands of hours of my time, hate is not even a strong enough word to express how I feel about IE.

I was fine w/ ie until I started using Twitter on a Vista OS machine. Because I kept clicking on links in tweets, I’d have mucho windows open and ie would have a tantrum and quit, thus losing all the things I wanted to go back and read. So, I downloaded Firefox, and haven’t had a problem. I love that it opens new links in tabs and it asks you to save tabs for next session, and the spell check–so handy when posting comments! I even downloaded it on my xp machine. Happy, happy!

You can’t blame people on Windows for using IE, if you try and remove IE or even stuff like Messenger or WMP you can cause a lot of problems with Windows.
Installing Firefox as well as IE, and Pidgin as well as MSN, can also cause slight conflicts and extreme software bloat.
Saying that, I use Firefox but I don’t use Windows.

I don’t really hate IE, in fact I still use it despite Firefox being my default browser. I also use Chrome occasionally.

Internet Explorer 6 is the ultimate nightmare for all “cross browser” specialist.
1. MSIE 7.x 24238695 (42%)
2. MSIE 6.x 19706632 (34%)
3. FireFox 10017648 (17%)
Remind me to abandon Firefox when I am designing.

Um, yeah, as a normal internet user and as a web developer I have a strong hatred of IE - I just dont see how the rest of the world still suffers like they do…

I still use both IE and Firefox, although I’m steadily moving toward Firefox more and more. I just seem to have far fewer problems with it and its functionality is better. But I can’t say I hate IE. I just like Firefox more.

Firefox wins for Firebug for me. That basically is a requirement for any internet based development. The main reason I switched away from IE was that it didn’t have tabbed browsing at the time.

This is really great, and to think I stumbled accross this site in a random search for something completely different. If you want I will give you the keywords I was searching it might help.

All three of them got their own features
I’ve all three installed on my pc… my comments on all the browsers… as follows..
I.E. 8 : Good Browser, some bugs around. ( Occassionally )
F.F. 3 : Heck !!!!! the worst browser I’ve ever
. It consumes lotsa memory. ( I tried to avoid this browser, but some websites support only this one… so I’ve it in my PC 
)
Chrome : This is my default browser.
. I’m really loving it

Do Web Developers Hate Internet Explorer? For me, YES. In fact, making websites work on all browsers is a headache. I am using Firefox primarily on creating websites; now when I test it in IE I was bombarded with all sorts of errors! Take note that the same page works perfectly in FF and Chrome and Safari.
What’s more is that, IE is not adherent to web standards.
I wonder how Microsoft WebDevs make websites?
Anyway, I wanna DUMP Internet Explorer out of our window. If not because of my ‘job’ Internet Explorer should have been long gone on my PC.

I love IE and I have been using it all my life…. I have never have had problems with it. And I have tried all of the other browsers. Firefox is slow as hell (well at least FF 3.5.2 is). I kinda like Chrome but it doesn’t look good to me…. And safari freezes all the time… So i’m gonna go with 70% of the world and use IE (I’m using 8 so that might be why I love it.)

Awesome post as always. Firefox is my favourite browser and I hate Internet explorer. IE is getting slower and slower and is full of bugs and is a invitation gateway for hackers and malware attack. I started using Firefox only because Internet Explorer browser used to crash every time i used to open it. So in a a way I am thankful to IE who made me fall in love with Firefox.
