Can someone confirm or deny, I remember using IE and it was fast, like faster then Chrome and Firefox. I think this was around WinXP or Win7? I remember loading up large websites and comparing speeds with the other browsers.
Chrome looked better, sleeker with animations and tabs, but slightly slower. IE looked like ass, some sites were broken, and maybe some features weren't supported?
The IE = slowpoke memes never made sense to me because of this. Maybe it got slower later, Win7 or win10?
I remember trying to create websites with some fancy features that would work on all the major browsers. Every time i looked up some browser functionality it would basically say "supported by all major browsers except IE", like every goddamn time
IE was waaay behind in functionality, but yeah it wasn't particularly slow from what i can recall
I remember having an extension in Firefox that would open up the page in IE so you could check it easily. 9 times out of 10 IE broke something
