Internet Explorer ::: The Original Browser
Internet Explorer -- developed by none other than the Microsoft Corporation -- is the leading web-browser competitor against Mozilla Firefox
But many people wonder what's the big deal with Internet Explorer? Isn't it just a copy of Netscape/Opera? Well actually... Microsoft designed their own code for the Internet, so really, they didn't copy it, they just made it into something far worse -- and I say that without bias.
General Layout
I can only describe Internet Explorer's interface with one word: "streamlined". It definetly has a much cleaner and organized look. Everything is organized into seperate small Toolbars, and unlike Firefox -- they can't be rearanged or moved!
Features and Customization
Internet Explorer has alot -- and I mean -- alot -- more than Firefox in terms of Features and Customization:
Multiple Window Browsing
First off, it has Multiple Windows capabilities that let you view more than one page in many windows; Firefox only has the option of opening a new tab, which eats resources like notepad.
However, Internet Explorer 7 now has "adapted" (I probably should say "improved") Firefox's tabbed browsing features.
Multiple Search ToolBar
Search fast and easy with your choice of many search engines added as toolbars. You can have as many toolbars as you want!
Themes
One major advantage of Internet Explorer is their lack of themes. All Internet Explorers look exactly the same, so if you are using your friends computer, you can easily surf the internet.
Plugins
Plugins are cool little addons that add more functionality and entertainment to your browsing experience. Some let you view Flash, others let you view Quicktime!
Security
Firefox is claimed to be the most secure browser on the net today -- so biased eh? Let me explain why it's not secure.
Built-in Popup Blocker
You would think that all "built-in" accessories for anything would come pretty high in quality -- not so with Internet Explorer's popup blocker. It blocks over 10% (10%!!!) of all popups on websites -- the other 90% are those popups that are initiated through special Javascript commands that Internet Explorer cannot block.
No Updates
Have you ever wondered when Firefox was going to be released in a critical update? You remember wasting about 5 minutes each day installing a new security update? Well, Internet Explorer does not update! No matter how big the security hole is, we wont update it! That means you can use the same browser for years without any change!
Personal Experience
On my own personal level, Internet Explorer's security is un-matched. Do you remember those advertising companies like Bravenet and ad.doubleclick.net? They install tracking cookies that contain adware, so that they can bombard you with ads and track your internet session. How do I know this? Use Ad-Aware.
Every single internet-releated threat found in Ad-Aware was from IE's Cache, Favorites, etc., but Firefox had absolutely 0 contaminents, and I don't empty my data from both browsers very often at all -- I always keep everything in when I scan so I can find and quarantine any critical objects from either browser -- if any.
Tuned to the Web-Developer
Besides being user-friendly for home or office, Internet Explorer comes pre-installed on all pc's, so you don't have to download anything new!
It also contains a Javascript error messages that pops up with every error, warning, and prompt message from all the sites you visit, so you're never left in the dark about why that Javascript code doesn't work.
With all that said... are you ready to make a switch? Want to learn more?

Hahahahahaha!
The "themes" part is hysterical. :D
Microsoft stopped making Internet Explorer for my Mac. Boo!

That logo's sweet. Can I use it on firefox?
NO YOU MAY NOT! One awesome feature ihoss forgot was Microsoft's extensive EULA you agree to when you install IE. It makes great bathroom material! I've read it 40 times!
That did suck... I mean that browser was certainly unique in it's interpretation of css.Quote:

Edit: This page is great for reading about the "advantages" of internet Explorer. Have a look at Customize your browser, where they tell you how to change your homepage and clear your cache! In the security section they got links to AdAware and Spybot so you can clean up the mess it has caused :D
Sweet! IE has expansion packs for it's EULAs! This is great news for collectors.
