Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year agoThat’s what MS would love to be the reason. Integration with the ecosystem. I still remember the nightmare IE6 was.

I remember that nightmare vividly, my old company was using that piece of absolute garbage up until 2017 or so, until all the critical crap that had it as a hard requirement was replaced.

Indeed. I did web development at the time and I distinctly remember nightmares of doing things by the book and then having to spend 30% more time to make the whole thing work on IE. Sometimes you had to address IE6 and 7 separately. No amount of Microsoft PR these days can’t save them from hatred I have accumulated back then.
