Government says: Don't use IE

The government says don't use IE... any version from 6 to 11. See here. So if you are reading this with it. STOP. Open up Chrome or Firefox. (or your phone, ipad, etc).

Now, article says from 6 to 11... so is IE 5.5 safe? Using IE and get infected is hardly anything new. But are Firefox and Chrome completely safe from other things? I doubt it.

Should you just dump IE and go with Chrome or Firefox? Many people give a resounding "Yes". See here for instance. That ActiveX thing is too easy to misuse.... that standards support is poor, and it is painful to debug a broken IE page when it supposed to work. That F12 tool stinks compare to Firebug and Chrome.

So, perhaps listen to the government this time. Dump IE. Especially idiot die hard corporates stuck on IE7 and not allowing people to install other things.

Ouch a black eye for Microsoft. Wipe that grim off your face, Oracle. Not too long ago Homeland Security say don't use java also. See here
