Internet explorer is embracing the hate we give them with their new ads. It looks like their aiming the advertisements towards hipsters though.
Check it out.




looks like it has some cool features but IE will always suck.

Not only is there a cat in this video, but there is also a cat in this video dressed as a civil war officer.

IE does have some nice features if you click the over 18 box in the download terms agreement.


The adult zone is pretty much a pandora of porn. It links you to videos based off of your preferences. It's fucking epic.

Other than that IE is kind of meh for me though

The funny thing is that logic works incredibly well with brands who people like already. But with IE, people are just like "oh that's so lame, they're just trendwhoring, they don't know the first thing about internet culture" meanwhile IE is sitting there like "I was around when the internet was fucking invented, what more do you want"

and how the fuck is that ad geared "towards hipsters"?

'hipster' is a dead term.. I'd say it was more geared towards redditers

what kush_daddy said, safari is great on my mac

it has a ton of great stuff. my favorite is that on my mac, i can see pages i have open on my iPhone, and vise versa. i also just like the general layout of it.


not gonna lie though firefox is a great browser that i use the most on pc's.
