Do You Still Use the Internet Explorer Browser?

Remember back when you first started using the Internet? I do. I remember when I used the Internet Explorer browser and there was another browser and it's been so long I don't even remember the name of that browser. (Yeah. It's been decades.)
These days I only use Firefox or Chrome. I installed the Opera browser. But never use it. I won't uninstall it because sometimes my daughter borrows my laptop and she uses it.
My laptop has the IE browser and I don't use it. It's just that my kids told never to uninstall it. EVER! "We're warning you mom!!", they say. I'm like. "OK! OK! I'm obedient!" 
Besides. My friend said her computer crashed and in her desperate effort to fix it she said she resorted to using the Internet Explorer browser.
But really. Even though, it almost seems unfair to Microsoft, I really have no need for that browser.
Do you still use the Internet Explorer Browser? Actually use it??

My daughter does a lot of artwork online and she says Opera is a good browser for her needs. She uses a laptop and a tablet.

I mainly used Firefox until one day I couldn't do something at a particular website and when I opened it using Chrome it loaded. Then I started working in between browsers. I prefer Firefox. I've gotten used to it and don't want to change.

Rarely. I used to be very biased to IE in my internet newbie days. I was resistant to using other browsers. Now I won't even touch IE except for good reason.

The newer browsers are so much more user-friendly.

Every once in a while I may have a problem with my laptop. When I run the diagnostic it uses the Explorer and usually foxes the problem. That's the only reason for using IE.

A friend at another forum did a post on old technology certain people still use. He didn't mention the Internet Explorer browser. But people still use landline phones and the fax machines. To me the Internet Explorer browser should be in this group of old stuff.

They are definitely more efficient browsers.

I prefer Firefox. But these days many of the sites I visit load better using the Chrome browser.

The first browser I used was Netscape with very few features. IE was next but was never happy with it. Firefox followed but nothing compared to Chrome which I now have.

Netscape! That's it! I couldn't remember the name but I do remember it now. When I first started using the Internet that I preferred Netscape over the Explorer browser. But I don't use either one now.

Internet Explorer still exists??
In a word, no. I have a Mac at home, and we use Chrome at work.

Yeah. Firefox went through that "change" where they were sort of went overboard about protecting a person's privacy. They would block sites I never had a problem with and I found it very annoying. After a while I finally managed to get my Settings figured out.

Really? Because I seldom open my account in Chrome. I'm using the Firefox right now for MyLot.

I have never used the Safari browser. I only added Opera because my daughter told me to do it. She said you should always have a backup browser.

At home, I use Chrome. At the office, all PCs have Internet Explorer as a default browser.
