HELP! I've got enternet explorer 10! it sucks

[Dirtydeeds]

Guys, I done a complete recovery on my computer to clean it up, and didn't notice I had" internet explorer 10" instead od "7" my bad. If anyone has any ideas on how to get "internet explorer 7" back. I'm not the best at the computer thing lol. I would be grateful for any advice from anyone... Thanks. Dirtydeeds...

You can Download IE 7 from Microsoft I think. But I would highly recommend to use IE 10.

Version 7 is round about 6 years old and I am not really sure if Microsoft still maintains this version.

This browser is a complete security bug.

In stall Google Grome first.

Than go to software in confugration.

There you remove internet exployer (windows software)

When you remove it  an restart your computer you can reinstal the exployer you whant.

 Dirtydeeds    if using XP its not supported  anymore by MS ,  best move up to win7  for better surcurity

Mine works fine.IE 10. I don't need chrome or whatever.Everything is just fine with me.Espeacially after I uninstalled Java,like DeeJayKeg has posted so many times.I use W7.

I had IE10 on my work laptop and removed it to revert back to IE9, then removed IE9 to revert back to IE8.  10 and 9 has issues with our software.  If you have the older versions you can just do that.  If not, do like they said and download another browser first.

[Dirtydeeds]

thanks you all, it took me almost 10  minutes to get to this web site all the pop ups. ill work on it thanks.

mozilla firefox, 7 years no problems

[rookido]

you can always roll back to the previous version if you don't like it or the new one gives you problems. imo firefox is kickass and has every features that you move config from IE to firefox.

I heard IE was ony good for downloading firefox

Agree to a point...

 

There's a big problem with Firefox these days - drives me fucking crazy!  Copy/Paste to/from Firefox is a total game of chance - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2723981.   I hate that!  Can't live with it.  This annoyance was introduced somewhere around V21 and has been plaguing the browser ever since.  I love Firefox, and its addons/extensions are brilliant, but with the introduction of their rapid version deployment scheme of introducing updates, things have become a little dicey and it almost feels like the public have become the beta testers.

 

All that said, I still think Firefox is the browser that renders websites the absolute best.

 

But I had to make a move to Chrome.  It is, with only some very minor - almost imperceptible - nuances, every bit as capable as Firefox in rendering a webpage correctly.  It has extensions that are equally brilliant to those found in Firefox.  Only problem I have with Chrome, is the inflexible manner in which it handles opening webpages in new tabs.  Beyond that, I would be equally happy in Chrome or Firefox.  But lets face it, Google services are becoming increasingly prevalent, and I would suspect that Chrome, if any browser, will be the one showing the least amount of issues with those services.

 

for those of you who insist that Internet Explorer is just fine, I urge you to install Google Chrome on your computer and then run it side-by-side with Internet Explorer.  Visit the sites you enjoy a on a daily basis using Internet Explorer, but also copy/paste the URL between browsers so you can see what a website looks like in Chrome.  I think you will be quite surprised.  Websites simply look better in Firefox and Chrome.  Since you never see them in any other browser, you remain clueless.  Chunky peanut butter is "just fine" until you discover the creamy goodness of smooth peanut butter (or vice versa if you are so inclined.)

 

Web developers have known this all along.  We fight a daily battle against Internet Explorer, and the way Microsoft has time and time again ignored the standards that have been established for the rendering of HTML and CSS by modern Internet browsers.  When a new version of Internet Explorer is released, it is first scrutinized to determine what remains "broken" in relation to the standards, and what hacks will be necessary to at least allow a decent experience for the IE user.

 

A good example is found in the following article.  Ignore the geek speak, I've already pulled out and highlighted the most important statement found in the article, at least for the purposes of our discussion in this forum: http://www.impressivewebs.com/ie10-css-hacks/

 

And in most cases when things differ, you should either be able to "feature detect" to fill in the gaps, or else use graceful degradation to allow acceptable experiences in IE10.  (emphasis mine)

 

 

 

Internet Explorer 10 is, by all accounts, the closest Microsoft has come to an actual standards-compliant browser.  But I think it will still be a while before all of the workarounds start surfacing.

 

In the meantime, for those systems where Microsoft is pushing IE10 into your update list, my recommendation is, "Take it!" because it will contain additional Internet security components that would be beneficial to Windows in general.  But when it comes to getting out there on the Internet, use Google Chrome or Firefox.  You will be happier!

Totally agree!  Or Chrome.

[Nobodygood>XI<]

IE sucks, Chrome is nice

[TecHnOBoY]

I don't trust Google. Regardless if they say that Chrome is the safest browser.

Chrome sends a huge load of data to their servers when you start it. Way too much for an update request. The traffic is encrypted and nobody knows the content of this packets.

 

FU Google!

Try Firefox ESR. It gets the latest security updates but not all the fu**ing changes like the social network integration in FF 23. Nobody needs this crap...

I agree with Technoboy,  I don't trust Google at all.  Firefox is the way to go.

I got this too. All I had to do was to go to updates and unistall last update foe Internet Exporer 10. It automatically reverted back to 9. Really simple to do.
