Internet Explorer
PRESS RELEASE - PLEASANTON, CA - DEC 3, 2014 11:00 PST - UPDATED: DEC 3, 2014 11:01 PST

Web Design & SEO firm Navolutions offers $500 scholarship to

take down the world's most hated internet browser.
Internet Explorer doesn't have
many supporters in the web
development community, but one company is taking the
fight to the front lines. Pleasanton based web designer
Navolutions is offering a $500 scholarship to a student who
does their part to wipe out the browser, once and for all.

"If someone asks me for

help with their computer
and I see they're using
Internet Explorer, the first
thing I do is install a better
browser."

"If someone asks me for help with their computer and I see
JOE GOLDSTEIN, WEB DESIGNER
they're using Internet Explorer, the first thing I do is install a
better browser," says web designer Joe Goldstein. "Not only does it speed up browser
performance and patch a few security holes, but it also means there will be one less person
using Internet Explorer, which is good for everyone."
Web designers have long voiced their dislike for the aging browser, due in part to the
inconsistent ways it handles layouts on web pages. "If you add a border around a photo on
any real browser," says Joe, "it adds that border to the photo's width and pushes everything
out, like putting a frame around a painting. Internet Explorer is the only browser that counts
the border towards the width, pushing everything inwards. If you don't expect it, it can
destroy your page's layout. Sure there are ways of fixing it, but those take time and resources,
and Internet Explorer has dozens, if not hundreds, of little issues just like that. They add up."
Navolutions isn't the only web designer that wants to take the browser down. In 2012,
Australian retailer Kogan.com put a 6.8% "tax" on Internet Explorer 7 users, saying "As
Internet citizens, we all have a responsibility to make the Internet a better place. By taking
these measures, we are doing our bit."
