Why is internet explorer opening on startup?! I've never even used it on this computer!

I know it’s a bit late to talk about Internet Explorer in a serious sense, but I still periodically check that my websites run properly on the damn thing. I mean, sooner or later somebody’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate is going to try browsing the internet on their hand-me-down toaster, so you might as well be ready for the odd visit from somebody running IE. Of course, it’s also an old joke that some people deliberately visit sites using IE 6 just to freak out the site’s webmasters.

Anyway, I’ve noticed something peculiar about using IE to visit my development server. We all know that IE is slow as molasses in winter, but it also seems to do something weird to the Apache2 server. After viewing a few pages, the server lags tremendously; other browsers experience a ~400 ms delay before connecting, and things like shared folders on the server’s system temporarily stop working.

It’s just a short blip, but what the hell is going on?

This also makes one wonder if IE is choking actual traffic when people use it for their normal browsing. If so, then it was worse for the internet than we thought.

Also, if anyone’s curious, Edge does not have this issue. It’s an IE thing.

Today I had to practice listening to and identifying heart murmurs, but the audio wouldn’t play. Long story short, it didn’t work because I was on Chrome, and it only works if you’re using Internet Explorer or Firefox. I also found out that I actually do still have IE on this computer.

In case anyone’s wondering, it’s still slow as shit.

Internet Exploder: Beleaguered Microsoft continues to hemorrhage browser share at record rates

“An estimated 33 million users deserted Microsoft’s browsers last month, pushing the Redmond, Wash. company’s browser strategy ever closer to the edge of irrelevancy, according to analytics data published [July 1],” Gregg Keizer reports for Computerworld.

“Internet Explorer (IE) and Edge combined to account for 36.7% of the global user share — a stand-in for the number of desktop and…

I just had to open Internet Explorer to check if a problem was specific to my browser. Brings back bad memories.

I feel like I have to scrub my computer screen now.

Microsoft to axe Internet Explorer

Microsoft to axe Internet Explorer

[cfsp key=”adsense_336x280″]”We’ve known for months now that Microsoft was working on a new browser currently named Project Spartan for Windows 10, but it always appeared as though the company planned to keep Internet Explorer front and center,” Kristofer Wouk reports for Fox News. “But the negative connotations with the name were just too much — Microsoft is finally giving up on IE.”

“The most…
