Developer’s Description

Surf the Web with the latest browser from Microsoft.

Internet Explorer 11 is the new browser from Microsoft with improved performance, faster page load times, new standards support for next generation sites, and completely revised F12 developer tools. It includes new capabilities to improve real-world Web site performance, support for the well-defined and commonly used features of the emerging ECMAScript 6 standard, support for WebGL, and high quality, power efficient HTML5 video without plugins.

Internet Explorer 11 is compatible with existing sites, which just run faster and look better in IE. In IE11 we have also added a number of APIs to enable new experiences, and we have changed or removed APIs to ensure that more sites work today and in the future.

This should not be recommended for Windows Vista
Fourbarrel CarbFebruary 15, 2016

It has many malfunctions and inconvenient specification

Pros
I wrote all articles to Summary.
Cons
I wrote all articles to Summary.
Summary
Conclusion: Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) was broken software. It has many malfunctions and inconvenient specifications. IE 11 is also inferior to IE 8. Never use IE 11. I will write them in detail as follows. IE 11 has only [tab format]. I cannot select [window format]. Although IE 8 has both formats. When I updated to IE 11, some letters were blurred, like an unfocused sight. Although IE 8 can display all characters clearly. The search bar (search frame) in the window was vanished. When I saw it firstly, I thought that [the search bar must be integrated with the URL bar]. But, when I inputted some search keywords into URL bar, IE 11 showed an error message [It cannot be displayed]. Therefore, I cannot search anything forever. Any icons of add-ons could not show on the status bar. So, I returned to IE 8. I strongly recommend for you not to use IE 11.
Very Annoying

Pros
um not worth the hassle
Cons
it will rewrite the code to your other browsers making them useless. its sluggish its always sending your browsing history to vendors without your consent even after you have set the setting for them not to share your browsing history. limited access to web based games it will send vendors information related to the type of hardware you have as a computer from component to component
Summary
sure its free with a pc operating system, but its pure 100% grade 'A' junk
New version of IE is good
LLI-JBSSeptember 5, 2014
Pros
- Satisfactory speed. - Nice user interface. - Finally good support for HTML5. - Windows integration.
Cons
- Ancient add-on system. - No Sync. - Still not perfect.
Summary
Internet Explorer is known as bad, but it has improved. It's still not a perfect browser, but it's not a crap anymore.
IE 8 is crap, upgrade to IE 11
LLI-JBSSeptember 5, 2014
Pros
- Windows default browser. - It works.
Cons
- Crappy user interface. - Very slow. - Very, very few HTML5 support. - Outdated features. - "New features" in this version are something elementary in other browsers. - Security flaws.
Summary
Ancient browser that seems to came from prehistory browser age. But, the new version of Internet Explorer is good.
Worst Browser

Pros
none. I cannot think of a thing good about it.
Cons
Internet Explorer 8 continuously locks up webpages.
Summary
Don't use Internet Explorer. Use Google or Mozilla Firefox instead. You will be glad you did.
Internet Explorer 11
Mike7244November 20, 2013
Pros
So far there's nothing good I can find about it, except with Norton I was able to save all of my passwords.
Cons
Sucks, its the worst search engine that Microsoft has ever created. I never saw something that has so many flaws. When you do a search it constantly locks up and have to constantly use task manager to shut the tabs down. The live tile version is exactly the same way. Another problem on their home page when you click on the main article tile 90 percent of the time now it doesn't work or the page can't fill itself completely in. They need to fire the creator or whoever created 11 the worst on in their history. When I try to report a problem it's near impossible to let them know. USE CHROME OR FIREFOX. It's such a shame when these idiots tied it into their new search feature but it doesn't work. False advertisement on how great 8.1 is the greatest search ever, NOT.

"The Download location page is damaged." - Microsoft

Pros
2013 - One can actually see images in IE 6 if you are going to use this Explorer in older MS operating Systems. In our current world IE4 to IE5.5 are now WORTHLESS! IE 6 is a functional Browser for the FAT32 or NT4/2000/XP Operating Systems by Microsoft.
Cons
2013 - IE6 is functional, IF you are some kind of masochist. This is REAL BLOATWARE, as is most MS products! If you use it for a little while it will c _ _ _ out on you.
Summary
If you are going to use some kind of multi-OS box, or just fiddle around with an older MS Operating Systems DO NOT use Explorer IE6. The other choices operate better than Explorer in the current Internet world. For example, Firefox 12, Opera 10.63, Netscape 9, and older Sea Monkey are more responsive and in my experience have better graphics than Explorer IE6. One cannot use Chrome w/ anything below Windows 2000 for NT, and also none of the FAT32 OS's. MS Marketing understands that the only way one can spur sales on modern software is to make older software unusable. MS is a master at their art.
