That's actually easy since a lot of people like to use that one URL shortener service that pays to them. Not going to mention name because I hate it so much and you all already know name of that site.


Yep... ppl get real wake up call when they 1st time install programs/addons which actually (block and) show the scripts/advertisements what are running on sites they visit or which activate when they click some links. Suddenly many things what have been "too good to be free" start to make sense.

I'm sorry but speaking as a web programmer, if you are using Internet Explorer, you're doing it all wrong. There is absolutely no need to ever use that program. It isn't even compatible with the internet.

FC, what do?

Another designer here with experience in both personal and corporate fields - I think I've spent more time 'fixing' everything to make it work in IE than I have designing and coding the websites themselves What?

1. Home users should know how to use the software they use. If they don't, they deserve anything that happens to them.
2. Anyone who knows what they're doing uses Chrome... Firefox and IE are soooo 2010.
3. No business should have ANY users running unrestricted accounts by default. If they do, their IT guy/consultant/office guru needs to be either fired of b!tch-slapped.

This vuln really isn't a big deal. No need to get excited.

edit: I think it's cute how you "developers" talk... it's funny. When you've been doing this for nearly four decades get back to me. (PS: software developer since 1980; built first computer from resistor/capacitor up in 1979)

yea... and I wouldn't start any browser wars in this discussion.

However if that is something what interests you and you want to read some stats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

...so clearly none of the three (IE/chrome/firefox) is ancient history. Different continents seem to have their own favorite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Countries_by_most_used_web_browser.svg and I find it as good thing that there is still healthy competition to keep the browsers and internet content evolving.

just because you've bee doing something a long time doesn't make you good at it. most people i worked in the past with who have been doing it that long just have strongly ingrained bad habits we can never train out of them , bad habits that lead to difficult to maintain code at best, unreliable memory leaky shitcode more commonly.

Or bought a drink in commiseration.

Yes, it's best practice. (Yes, the people I work for have this set up now).

But ultimately, you're answerable to management. And you can't do anything without management buy in and agreement. Not if you're a professional (and want to keep your job)

And Management, as we all know, can be somewhat, shall we say, moronic.

+1 to OP. Everyone should definitely abandon IE forever. Get Firefox or Chrome.

I stopped using IE about the same day that Chrome came out, and have never went back. Tried Firefox for a while before Chrome came, but didn't care for it.
