PookaMustard: He's got an excuse. He's on Windows 7, and Microsoft gave up on IE in Windows 10. No matter what you say, the latest iteration is a good browser.
OldFatGuy: What I find hilarious in this thread is the fact that everybody is bashing IE, while the problem is gog's. I know this because despite the literally thousands of clicks on other sites, there is not a single one that this happens on. So, you know, because gog's website didn't do a good job of making their site IE compatible, it's IE's fault.
Navagon: No. Because there are other freely available browsers and many of them have been better than IE for over a decade now.
Your original point was that Microsoft abandoned IE so he's got no excuse. Microsoft abandoned IE for.... Edge. And Microsoft Edge's on Windows 10. Following the math with me? Great. He's on Windows 7. Oh, and even then, IE11 is part of Windows 10. Heck, even Edge includes a button that literally opens whatever you're viewing in Internet Explorer. That and he already made his point of why he uses it, because he plays a baseball game that can only be properly played on IE11. As for IE11 itself, its a good browser and doesn't fail unless the webpages it tries to load itself are failing it. With that in mind, the only reason I want to have Chrome on a Windows is just to have another set of login credentials into websites.
