Internet Explorer replacement

I heard from my son today that Windows IE is being replaced by the new Spartan browser later in the year. Have any members any thoughts on this?

 

Oh goody, a whole load more of new and exciting Miscrosoft browser bugs/security issues.

 

As a Mac user I don't use IE. I'd rather use something like Firefox or Chrome if I had a PC though rather than IE, I've never really liked it as a browser, haven't for a number of years now.

 

I have problems with all of them Ellen and right now IE is the best of the bad bunch for me.

 

Hopefully their new browser will follow industry standards rather than force their own propriety technologies on the web like their previous browser did.

 

To be honest FC I think all the browsers are as bad as each other. Not one of them operates properly for me and IE is the best of the bunch. I switch to Firefox now and again, particularly to upload photo's to GC and Chrome is a non starter, it's hopeless!

 

I ga ve up on firefox because it was full of ads and links on certain words which I didn't want.
Not sure why it went that way, it was fine for a long time for me.

I now use chrome, it seems to do what I want it to without any strange goings on.

 

Strange...and interesting to hear our members comments on the browsers with their particular system.
I am a mac man and have been for awhile. I prefer Chrome all of the time and it never lets me down and does what it says on the tin.
I still have windoz machines and I prefer not to use IE.
Fact is I prefer not to use a MS at all.

 

I used chrome for a while but was constantly getting pop ups even though I had set it to block them so returned to IE
