Everyday thoughts, but not every day

Edged out

M$ is finally retiring its venerable browser, Internet Explorer. It's the end of an era. (sad)

Internet Explorer was by no means perfect. But there was a time when it was actually the best standards-compliant browser on the market. I recall developing websites in the '90s and early '00s, and having to use conditional comments so that they would degrade gracefully in less compliant browsers. Thankfully, those days are gone.

I still prefer it as my MegaCorpCH browser, simply because the only alternative on offer is Edge; and I have a—probably totally irrational—dislike for Edge. At home/office, I use Safari, which is much nicer, but doesn't take too well to Windows. And I can't say I blame it, really.

So, RIP Internet Exploder. We had some good times together, old friend.
