Is Internet Explorer near its extinction?

Question

With the release of Google Chrome, the internet browser from Google, Its seems that Internet Explorer is rapidly losing its ground. browsers like Firefox and Opera gaining market share by leaps and bounds, and the recent introduction of a pc-compatible safari, Doesn't it seem as if IE is doomed to become obsolete? You might say, "well, as long as Microsoft supports it, it will never go away" but Microsoft can always change which browser comes standard with windows, as they did when they switched from netscape to IE. Do you think IE could soon become extinct? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No, windows has put too much funding into IE to take it out. They will come out with a really good update, and everybody will come back to it.

Answer 2

Answer 3

No, a lot of people still use Internet Explorer. Well all browsers are the same, they are all "fast" "secure" and they all take you to the same place, the Internet. You can chose any browser you like, I personally like Internet Explorer best, Internet Explorer is for people that want a browser that meets their needs, for people that know how to really use a computer. Mozilla Firefox is good too, you can change the theme and all, it's also easy to use as other people say, but it is for those people that really kinda only know a little about computers, and just care about the colors and all. Microsoft Internet Explorer is really good. All browsers are great!
