I never had issues with Yahoo! Mail until I downloaded the latest IE. In fact, I've had issues with a few websites since I downloaded it. I wish I'd just clicked "No" when the dialog box asked me if I wanted to download the new version of Explorer.

:hurts:

4. I hate IE. I won't use it unless I absolutely HAVE to. Slow, buggy - everything Windoze is famous
for in a nutshell.

6. There are so many better broswers out there
Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome.....

Any one of these would be better than IExploiter.

Even for those sites that need IE, I use Firefox with the IE Tab extension and everything works fine.

Ditch IE. You WON'T be sorry.

8. Good for you.
Now, as soon as you get it installed, get the Adblock Plus extension.

A whole new ad-free world of browsing will open up.

10. I use Opera, which not only loves Yahoo mail, but...
includes a decent email client so I can download my Yahoo mail as POP3 email. (The truth is, though, I use Thunderbird for email because I've been using it and Eudora so long I see no reason to change.)

Anyway, everyone I've heard talking about it at all says the latest IE (is that 8?) sucks rocks. Better to keep the last one-- was that 7? It was the first IE to actually be a decent browser, and not unsafe if you deactivated Active X and made sure it didn't run just any old script automatically. I think they finally got around to making those the defaults.
