IE only predates it by 3 years, IIRC!

Netscape 1 here, followed by Netscape 2. Went to IE after that, as it was ~800k smaller than Netscape 3, which was a huge time saving on a 14.4 modem :)

I thought MS stopped supporting it years ago . So was MS still patching its security holes up untill now ?

 

Its still being used , despite those users having chrome or FF installed
Ive often had to tell people to stop using IE , even having to go as far as to try & hide it from them.

How are we going to connect to our cheap, dodgy security camera systems now? They all need IE and some kind of addon to work. Ah well at least I can still connect on my phone app via port forwarding lol

 

(Yes of course I'm joking, don't do this!)
