Just about the only thing I don't look forward to when designing a website for a client, is looking at the beautiful site I've created in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Each site I spend months crafting, adding and tweaking details, until I've arrive at a unified, clean and polished piece of interactive art that makes me proud... until I visit it with IE.

IE takes my carefully crafted creation, and puts it through a meat grinder. Then I have to hold IE's hand while I help it piece my site back together. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, & Apple Safari wait patiently while I sigh... Meanwhile everyone I talk to has to hear me rant about Internet Explorer, and my clients lose money to excessive cross-browser compatibility fixes.

Microsoft can get away with stubbornly playing by it's own rules - ignoring the community of people working to set internet standards, because it prays on the ignorant. Therefore I see it as my duty as a web developer to educate the lay-internet-user by making better alternatives to IE more easily accessible.

Please help restore the integrity of the internet, and enjoy a more pleasurable online experience by downloading any of the non-retarded internet browsers below:
