Is Your Web Browser Broken?
If you are still using Internet Explorer 6, then you are viewing the Internet with a broken web browser. Current web standards are not supported in Internet Explore 6, which was released in August of 2001, making the browser over six years old and considerably obsolete. Internet Explorer 7 was officially released in October of 2006, a delay that cost the browser dearly. Much of the modern website functionality is simply not available in Internet Explorer 6, whereas the development of Firefox has centered around supporting current web standards and technologies. Because of the lengthy five year gap between Internet Explorer upgrades, Mozilla’s Firefox browser gained significant popularity and has claimed an impressive adoption rate. A large percentage Internet users have abandoned Internet Explorer in exchange for Firefox. The release Internet Explorer 7 fixes many of the problems holding back Internet Explorer 6, but it doesn’t fix everything. Firefox continues to grow in popularity, while Internet Explorer’s market share dwindles.
