Still Using Internet Explorer?

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

Please stop. Every time you open Internet Explorer, an angel gets AIDS.

Or worse, you’ll have a crappy time reading PMA (and almost every other blog/site out there). Now, I won’t tell you how to run your life on the internet, but I’ll just let you know that PMA was unavailable for IE users over the last weekend (for the most part). I had no idea because I’m a Mac, so IE isn’t available for me.

Personally, I’d recommend Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari for faster and safer web browsing. I use Firefox the most. It is constantly updated for your security and there are thousands of available extensions or add-ons available for it.

Consider making the switch?

HAHAHA X 10

so true man… chrome for Mac just released.. chrome takes some time to get used to but once you spend some time using it its the only thing you will use. I used to love firefox because of all the awesome add ons but eventually it become slugish..

Im a firefox guy. Im just so used to the interface that changing to Chrome would require A LOT of adjusting. And Ad-block Plus is the greatest thing ever. And I’m dependent on add-ons like NetVideoHunter to download my music with ease

Hey guys,

Evan from onethirtybpm here. Internet Explorer butchers our homepage. Think I’m going to have to do some coding once school lets out.

Luis, definitely check out Chrome. It’s incredible how much faster it is.

Chrome will not run on my mac. I opens but then won’t connect to most sites. It does connect to Gmail and my college’s website, but nothing else. Safari works fine, though. It’s so weird.

Just the made the full switch from FireFox to Chrome. Chrome offers all the quickness that Safari has and now has extensions. And unfortunately Firefox has just been getting bulkier and bulkier

Yeah I haven’t been able to go onto PMA for at least a week, longer actually. But Internet Explorer is the best! At least next time it happens I will know what it is and to use FireFox for a little while. :)

I was under the impression that the new version of Firefox was actually *faster* than Chrome. In my experience with this POS laptop I’m stuck on, that is certainly the case… but I also read that on some tech website.

The cops thought it would cool to seize my original laptop that I poured my heart, soul and bank account into. 20 years of music compiled… all lost.

I’m so used to Firefox that I can’t imagine using something else. Tried Chrome and it seemed really wrong, somehow. Weird, completely weird. Maybe I’ll try it again.

You already can add Echofon to it? Can’t live without it in my browser, to be honest.

And just for the record, IE destroyed my last computer. When I stopped using it, viruses never bothered me again. Don’t think it is a coincidence…
