I stopped using Internet Explorer in favour of Firefox some time ago, not because I hate everything to do with Microsoft – I’m writing this post on machine running Windows XP, and still do a lot of work developing solutions using Microsoft technologies – but because Firefox is a better browser. Internet Explorer always seems old fashioned and clunky when I use it now, I like my tabbed browsing and handy add on toolbars; the fact that sites that use web standards display as their designers intend them and the lessened threat from virus infection.

不久前，我停止使用Internet Explorer来支持Firefox，不是因为我讨厌与Microsoft有关的一切–我将这篇文章写在运行Windows XP的计算机上，并且仍然在使用Microsoft技术开发解决方案方面做了大量工作–而是因为Firefox是更好的浏览器。 当我现在使用Internet Explorer时，它总是显得老式而笨拙，我喜欢标签式浏览和方便的工具栏添加。 使用Web标准的网站可以按照设计者的意愿进行显示，并且可以减少病毒感染的威胁。

“Why you should dump Internet Explorer” is written by an MCSE, making it a refreshing change from articles that simply bash Microsoft, and putting forward a good case for switching to another browser. Then you could always download the new release of Firefox and give it a whirl.

MCSE撰写了“为什么应该抛弃Internet Explorer” ，这使这些文章成为对Microsoft的轻描淡写的更新，并为切换到其他浏览器提供了一个很好的案例。 然后，您始终可以下载新版本的Firefox并尝试一下。
