How Microsoft rewrote its IE9 browser from scratch

• ecaron 16y ago
  There is no way the browser was rewritten "from scratch". If it were rewritten from scratch, the issues that crashed its predecessors (like http://crashie8.com http://crashie8.com) would not also crash IE9.

    Heh -- you mean to say that shitty HTML coding caused a problem in IE8. Did you even try it in IE9? I get this from crashie8.com (note -- no crash): --- Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem.

  ..and still didn't end up with Chrome.

    thank god -- I wish it worked on my end, but I'm endlessly forced to empty cache in Chrome to avoid broken images, stalled scripts, etc. -- which makes it altogether unusable.
