Internet Explorer the Worse Broswer?

Contrary to the popular belief, IE8 is not THE worse browser in the world. It is by far THE most powerful browser on the net today. Does it have security holes? Of course it does and more so since it has the ability to become an extension to any Web Service & WebApps that you can think of via it’s ActiveX functionality. No other Browser has the same capabilities as IE8. Now these functionalities was designed for a ‘safe’ internet, a Shangri-La that was never found. But if you put IE8 against any other browser out there in Intranet comparison where it’s relatively safe, everyone of those browsers will fail epically! IE has extensive remote programability that none of the other browser have. So is IE8 the worse browser on the net? No, it is the most powerful one and bad guys take advantage of it’s complexity and programmability and hack at it. Meanwhile, Microsoft has really gotten better at fixing IE and to their credit. So if you are on the net and you want to be safe, then use the Dumbest browser that you can find. The award for that distinction is shared by Chrome & Safari. They are Deaf & Dumb. Mind you their rendering engine, WebKit, that was bought and now maintained by Apple and also put out to open source, is fast – arguably the fastest on the net. If you need Corporate Internet and WebApplication developed based on ActiveX, then you have no choice but to Use IE. Have IE handy and use one of the other Browsers as your default.
