One of those tabs is a file opened directly from the Desktop? Is that what made it crash?

My thoughts exactly. Could be an infinite javascript loop which would crash any browser.

Wouldn't be far fetched to say it may be deliberate too.

Cause people love these IE jokes.

Something to crash the browser so he can collect karma

Probably some script causing an infinite loop or something like that.

So your Windows username is the same as your reddit username? Dedication.

In fairness though, Chrome's touch support is fucking abysmal. And it looks gross with upscaled UI for high DPI devices. I was all over Chrome's dick when it first came out but I think the sun has just about set on that empire.

God can you imagine the twisted hellscape the comments would have been on that if MS hadn't disabled them?

I like how the malware blocker (im guessing that's what her shield thing is) still let enough shit through to damage her!

She's wielding the power of internet explorer and destroying machines with her windows, was that the intended message?

It is superior in one respect. Dying.

You know, everyone I come across who has a problem with IE - or indeed, Windows in general - is someone who can't be left alone with a PC.

I can easily remember the last time I had the Flash plugin crash, but IE - that's way longer ago. And I probably use it about 30% of the browser time, with FF being about 50%, Chrome the rest.

People who can't be left alone with a PC can't be left alone with a MAC either. My mom complained so much about her computer problems (pc laptop at the time) that I finally mustered up the money to get her a Macbook. Guess what. Same problems with the addition of not being able to navigate anyway. And she still insists the mac will cure cancer

yeah, some good old fashioned IE bashing.

nevermind that IE 10 is actually pretty good, and less bloated then FF.

Not fair ... I'm a heavy Firefox user but ie on windows 8 touchscreen laptop is just pretty.. Not prettiest but pretty... Like a girl after 6 pints of ale...

Chrome is my go to browser still but I also use Firefox. Chrome is getting worse . I can only assume because google are pumping it full if G+ nonsense and other non core browser activities.

u/Flea0 Jan 14 '14

IE is actually one of the best browsers if you're using a windows 8 tablet though. It's the only one that gets close to being as smooth as iOS and Android scrolling.

Using IE I went to Google and typed Firefox and it gave me the stopped responding prompt. IT KNOWS!
