Stop using IE until bug is fixed, says US

[jonsie]

Not a browser that I use but...

It's not often that the US government weighs in on the browser wars, but a new Internet Explorer vulnerability that affects all major versions of the browser from the past decade has forced it to raise an alarm: Stop using IE.

Is anyone actually still using Internet Explorer?

My advice would be to stop using it altogether. There are better and faster browsers available, Firefox and Google Chrome to name but two.

Always use Firefox myself and occasionally Chrome. I have never like IE in any of its versions to be honest. Once you had no option but to use it but much more advanced and versatile browsers have evolved whilst IE sits contentedly in the dark ages.

Thanks for the link jonsie.

I have always used IE - I tried Google Chrome a while ago but I didn't like it. After reading the link I will have to look into using a different browser.

Thanks Jonsie.  I haven't used IE for years, I prefer Chrome now as it's faster and I like the adblock.  I think there's fors and againsts for all of them though.

I'm a Chrome user myself. I think its the easiest to use really and its design is simple in an elegant way.

Sorry for going slightly off-topic! Thanks for the heads-up on the story jonsie.

Since iOS 7 introduced the facility to open lots of tabs and I believe has some nitro code I'm more than happy with that.
