Why You Should Stop Using Internet Explorer

Sep 3, 2020 | Web Design & Maintenance

1. Microsoft only supports Internet Explorer version 11, all previous versions are no longer updated for security patches and no new features are being developed. Using a browser that is no longer supported makes your system and personal information vulnerable to being hacked and your information stolen.

2. Internet Explorer does not display websites the same as other modern web browsers, causing websites to appear to be broken when in fact the browser you are using is interpreting the site incorrectly. This can make it difficult to find information or interact with websites as others would.

3. Internet Explorer is slow, you can speed up the rate at which you browse the web by using a modern browser.

In the late 90’s and early 2000s Internet Explorer was used by over 95% of users but since then newer, better options have become available and you should take advantage of the increased user experience these alternative browsers provide.

Strategy 3 suggests using Google Chrome or Firefox browsers to have the best possible experience exploring the web.
