Why an Internet Explorer Boycott

The advent of the WEB brought its batch of new technologies since years.

In order to guarantee a service Internet of quality, a consortium was created, the W3C, in order to provide a standard to be respected for the creators of site. The conformity of a site rests on these standards which must be accessible to any person who sails on the Net.

Almost the whole of browsers tries to yield to these standards. Only Internet Explorer does not respect the standards and imposes technologies constraining on the developers but also to the users.

To quote only this one, we can propose the SVG and the Canvas beacon which are not supported by Internet Explorer. These technologies, free and powerful, are non-existent on Internet Explorer. Instead, Internet Explorer uses a vectorial language not standardized, the VML, or imposes plugins owners governed by commercial editors (Flash, ASV…)

However, 95% of the Net surfers use Windows. Internet Explorer being provided with this last, we count nearly 80% of users Internet using Internet Explorer. Whereas tens of thousands of site could be technologically advanced, the creators of sites are forced not to implement these technologies not to deprive 80% of the users of their contents.

The ideal would be to use advanced navigators and more respectful standards. To quote only they, you can use Opera, Firefox, Safari… You will find more information on this page:Advised browsers

1. a simple icon informative
2. an attentive popup that you do not manage Internet Explorer
3. a blocker of complete access to Internet Explorer
