Because, technically, IE10 is the worst browser on the planet and all versions of IE have always been the worst. Unfortunately users don't notice this because developers find and write workarounds for the missing properties any other browser has but is lacking in IE.
There are far too many problems with IE10 to list here. One of the many places to run a test is here which tests each browser for the presence of current, standard, modern properties: »html5test.com/compare/browser/ie···f16.html
Another indication of how good a browser is, technical publications frequently list their browser visitor's statistics. ArsTechnica is popular among techies and hobbiests alike and, there, IE usage is less than 15%. This is true of any web developer forum.
So the people who know best how the web and web browsers work don't use IE. You should take that into consideration.
IE10 is a horrible browser. Do not use it. |

Then you didn't bother to look at or understand what I linked to but I understand because it's filled with developer info a user wouldn't understand. However, the score shows IE10 is an inferior browser.
While I have always said browser choice nowadays is just personal preference, choosing IE is never one to make. It holds back the web by forcing developers to avoid or workaround modern technology available on any other browser. |

Firefox is indeed great! It's the best in my opinion.

Welcome to the Mozilla forum, I'm sure you can find the door to take your trolling elsewhere.
It's all you've ever used, and you're biased. Try using another operating system, and realize you can't get IE on any other operating system, along with realize that just about every other browser out there is better than IE after you use them.

Can you explain better, as in tell us why you think IE is better? Just saying "IE has always been the best web browser...." doesn't really say anything. |

| He's referring to a page that hasn't been updated since 2007 and contains its own lies and myths. It's well known among web developers for that.
Here's a more truthful page that no one can deny: »people.mozilla.com/~prouget/ie9/ |

Not currently reliable information IMO.
Anyway, still love Firefox!

Why Firefox over IE?

Usually the answer I get when I ask users why they stick with IE. That and they do not have the time or patience to learn how to use something else or simply were unaware of other web browsers.

Do you have third party programs installed for say media, burning, ripping, word processing, email? After all MS includes enough to get
things done on basic levels.

Your opinion but how do you know if you stick with IE and explore nothing else or only use a different browser for a short period of time never learning just how powerful other browsers like Fx or Opera to name two can be?

Personally, IMO, I think Browsers are a personal preference. The majority of people don't really care about a Browser being "blazingly fast". So, your Browser of choice opens 1/2 sec faster, Big Deal.
Sometime its difficult to explain why one becomes "attached" to a Browser even though others may hate it.
I, personally, like FireFox because of my familiarity with it and the Add Ons which I am used to.
If I use Chrome and/or IE I feel uncomfortable. Everything, I'm familiar with is, in the wrong place. But, maybe, if I was using IE, on a consistent basis I would feel the same way.

It's amazing how many people claim that's their sole purpose in using any one browser. I think it's cause they need something to say to look like they know something. |
