Most websites are optimized and designed as per IE.
Being in Infrastructure Support , I can tell you for sure that 3rd party browsers often are a big cause of conflict.

While no doubt IE sucks big time when compared to other web browsers , but still we have to deal with it , since it's the stock browser.

Now , IE has improved a lot recently , AFAIK. But generally support is given only till IE7 or IE8 at max.

According to Net Marketshare, Internet Explorer is the most popular desktop Web browser on Earth. It’s not even a close race either.

As of last month, Internet Explorer’s share stands at 58.38 percent. That’s actually up slightly in May, when it was 58.17 percent. The next closest competitor is Google Chrome, which has a share of 19.34 percent. That’s a jump of over a point and a half from May, when its share was at 17.73 percent.

Well, what did you just said Internet Explorer is still dominating in the line of the desktop browser ?? I didn't think that .... ??? Ahh.. now I get that it may just because whenever you installs the Microsoft system it's going to install over your system "by default" So, I guess this just means Internet Explorer is dominating the ....

I haven't read through the source, but I take that IE is the most [STRIKE]used[/STRIKE] installed browser. I can't accept that IE has 58% usage. That figure by itself is enough to doubt the credibility of the source.

Most of the US customers user IE. Almost 70%. And I'm coming across that everyday, so take my word.

May be for application UI like CRM or Vendor Specific tools , not for general purpose web browsing. The global browser usage statistics map says otherwise. Chrome is everywhere. But IE 11, awesome. Period.

Well, that figure as well is debatable. Most of the visits to W3schools would be from developers and not general users. We can only speculate how much share a browser has, but definitely not 58% for IE.

Microsoft Dynamics only properly works with IE, but Salesforce works best with latest version of Chrome or Firefox. Corporate machines mostly have IE as their default browser except for those used by developers.

We should understand that these articles about market share are not always scientific. They are published because we are expecting such articles and they are no scale to weigh how good a browser is.

When we build a UI app, the first thing the customer asks that is it running good on IE? They are not crazy though, IE8 is the minimum they would need, but still IE. Specially if the app is for internal use.
