Microsoft's Internet Explorer remains the most popular web browser available, even with an array of good alternatives available. There are several reasons why it's so widely used, the main reason being is that it has shipped with Windows for a number of years and people become familiar with using it, but another reason is that some websites still require you to use Internet Explorer to view them correctly. Although many people have migrated to browsers such as Firefox and Opera because they provide more customisable features, IE is still preferred by many and more and more add-ons are being made available. 17 Sep 2009
