Internet Explorer
At one time, Internet Explorer was the only go-to web browser for most people. Microsoft designed, a lot of people hailed Internet Explorer as the superior web browser. The times have changed and now, Internet Explorer has the worst reputation out of the three mentioned here. To begin with, it is cumbersome to use, the tabs go alongside the URL box and stack side by side. When there are multiple windows open, this makes the screen feel cluttered when compared with the design of the other web browsers. In addition, the functionality is not good and it constantly ranks slower than both Chrome and Firefox. Even though strides are being made with Internet Explorer's latest version to incorporate better HTML5 functionality, it is still way behind its competitors. Making it appealing to a few people are the few unique features such as the privacy tools that are enabled by default, and something called tab-pinning, that allows you to pin certain websites to the toolbar you visit the most.
