Summary

Internet Explorer, often called "IE," is the terrible default web browser of all Windows Operating Systems used on PCs. Unfortunately, its use is still pandemic across the world.

While IE is ubiquitous across the web, it is also reviled by many internet users and often referred to as a "Chrome downloader" because so many use it once to install another web browser, and then never touch it again.

Current status

Steadily losing its usage share as Google's Chrome continues to see its usage share grow. The current version of Internet Explorer is Version 9 with IE10 still being developed. With so many vast improvements, Chrome and Firefox may be in trouble!
