Microsoft: Internet Explorer Is Better Than Your Browser

Author: Rees | Date: June 20, 2009

Microsoft Browser Comparison

Hard to believe that this isn’t a joke, but seeing it on Microsoft’s very own website has confirmed that it isn’t. As you can see (click image above to enlarge), Chrome and Firefox lack any kind of browser security or privacy features and are hard to use. IE equals the other two as far as web standards are concerned (nobody cares about upcoming standards anyway… They can implement those in IE12 or 13), and IE is equal to Firefox in terms of customizability because it has some of the functionality of Firefox’s add-ons built-in.

To put it bluntly, this chart is an absolute joke. I use IE8 at work and like it very much, but Microsoft have a lot to prove with IE8, and this really isn’t the best way to go about it.

I especially like Reliability – “crash recovery features”

My venture into IE8 resulted in webpages randomly crashing, as soon as I opened them, only for this amazing feature to recover the page and then crash again.
This painful process continued on its own until it can no longer recover the page or I close down Internet Explorer. Awesome.

They should have written “we’re so amazing we don’t even bother with thorough testing before unleashing an update on you”

These are the glory days of the internet, my friend. No need to test anything, we’ll patch it later!
