IE6 Must Die: The Sequel

I said Internet Explorer 6 must die. But if you don't know what to switch to, here are other browsers. The top few you've probably already heard of. The ones close to the bottom, probably not. Plus, I'm going to list them by popularity first (Internet Explorer the 5th). I'm only going to talk about the top 5, then just go on.

1. Google Chrome

What? Google Chrome is clearly not Internet Explorer 6, so that makes it a good candidate! Google claims Chrome is the fastest browser ever. I find it fast, quite easy to use, and just pretty nice. You know my favorite browser if you've been with this blog for about a week or two; Opera. Google Chrome is pretty similar minus Opera's search bar. (Hey, Opera has the Omnibox too!) Google Chrome is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.

2. Mozilla Firefox

Another one you've heard of. Firefox 20 is absolutely the awesome web browser. It's fast, cool, awesome, and it's just like Google Chrome. Although Firefox is known as a browser that sometimes makes me feel like it has bipolar disorder (fast, slow, fast, slow, annoying!), it's still a good browser. Firefox is compatible with Windows XP+.


3. Safari

Apple doesn't support Safari for Windows anymore, but Safari 5.1.7 (pretty close to the latest Safari 6) is the latest version of Safari for Windows. Although Safari is often kind of slow for Windows, it's still a browser worth checking out.


4. Opera

THE ONE I'M ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT. OF COURSE. Opera is an awesome web browser that is just plain old awesome and I'm talking awesome. Hear my complaints and my compliments about Opera in this blog. =) Opera is often known for supporting old versions (Opera 11 still actively supported Windows 2000) (or Opera 10?) However right now Opera supports Windows XP+.


5. Internet Explorer... 8

If you're using Internet Explorer 6, I'm guessing you are using Windows XP. Internet Explorer 8 is the last Internet Explorer that XP supports. Using Windows Vista? Probably not, but if so, Internet Explorer 9. Windows 7? (PLEASE!) Very low probability, but if so, Internet Explorer 9 is still yours (DO NOT TRY INTERNET EXPLORER 10).


6. Flock
7. K-Meleon
8. Maxthon
9. xB Browser
10. Arora
11. Slimbrowser
12. Pale Moon
13. Browse3D
14. Lunascape
