Last time you regularly used Internet Explorer?

[FirePuppy 735]

When was the last time you regularly used Internet Explorer, before switching to Firefox, Safari, or our favorite, Google Chrome?

I last used it in about 2011/2012.

[Yakamaru 3,127]

Back in 2005. Then I found Firefox, used it until two days ago before I swapped to Pale Moon.

Fuck Firefox and their censorship.

Been with Firefox for a while now because plugins.

Will probably switch to Chrome soon though, because plugins

You can use a lot of the same plugins for Pale Moon, too.

I pretty much only NoScript, Roomy Bookmarks, Session Manager and Tab Mix Plus, so it was easy to migrate.

I used IE until I switched to Mac in 2013.

I still use it to access the forums because, long story short, I don't know my password to this or remember the one to the email I set for this account. I've been considering making a whole new account because of this, that is set to a different account that I do remember the password for.

 

 I haven't used it for anything else since probably around 2014. I've been using Chrome for everything else.

Like 4-5 years ago, back when I discovered Google Chrome.

Seem to recall the cain and able tool can extract stored passwords from IE...

Can't you change the e-mail on the account your using now?

I can't, because I'd have to know my password to this (I'd have to re-sign in), which I don't and I can't reset the password because I don't know the password to the old email.

 

If only I didn't forget these things. Though the password I have here was hard to remember and I hadn't used the email I set in at least a year or two.

Huh probably a little over ten years ago. Not long after I joined the military I know that. 

[Flutterstep 47,102]

I stilled used it for quite some time dispite having chrome installed. I kept on having crashes with other search engines for some reason. Last time I used it as my main program was probably around in 2014. Now I just use it for searching things I don't want showing up on other browser.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,349]

2014 or 2015, I think. It was still working fine for me but I thought I'd try something a bit faster.

[Celli 4,338]

Pssh, I haven't used it in ages. IE is terrible, and Edge is not much better as a replacement.

I switched to Chrome for a while, before switching away because I didn't like what was going on with it, I've since switched to Vivaldi, which is a far superior browser and without a  doubt the best browser I have ever used.

[ZethaPonderer 2,199]

People still use Internet Exploerer? O_o

 

Anyway, used it since my childhood days. Then switched to either Firefox and Google Chrome and never looked back. Too many restrictions IE, especially when it spies at everything you do and will block your use of the site in question for arbitrary reasons.

[Clod 8,294]

Probably somewhere around 08/09 because I wanted to see what the best browser to play RuneScape on was. Turns out they were all about equal lol

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

I used until they invented something better. Then I dumped it. Have never used it since.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,309]

I abandoned Internet Explorer Years ago. when I switched to Netscape navigator. Then I moved on to Firefox.

[PoisonClaw 8,165]

I think it's been 3-4 years since I switched from IE to Chrome. Up until that point, IE was my default until the day it finally gave out on me and could barely stay open for twenty minutes before crashing.  

[Celtore 2,770]

I switched over to Firefox back in grade 5, it must have been ~2004 or so. I haven't touched it since... Well, that's partially a lie. I used windows phone for a while which had edge on it (which is pretty darn close) and I used IE purely for debugging my website. Because heaven forbid Microsoft keep IE's rendering engine up to date across operating systems. I mean, why shouldn't IE8 have to have a custom file of CSS all to itself because its rendering engine is garbage and abandonware?

To clear up confusion, Microsoft Edge is not Internet Explorer. I use it on (VMM) only. #Seldomly

[Nara 84]

I believe it was in 2005/2006 After a while I switched to Firefox and I'm using it to this day on PC. On my mobile I prefer Chrome.

[Guest]

2006 I think. I can't really remember, lol.

[Guest]

Pretty much never. I used Netscape Navigator until it turned into FireFox and then when Chrome released I never used anything else. Skype uses IE for some advertisement hooks and whatnot but intentionally, outside of work? Never.

Probably in secondary school during computer classes since I think it wasn't completely encouraged to download things on the computers.
