I currently have internet explorer 9 on my computer. It is very slow compared to Mozilla and the google chrome. The question I have is can you delete internet explorer off the computer and just use one of the other web browsers. I know in times past a lot of web pages would not work correctly on some of the other browsers.




Well, sure, you could uninstall IE, but why bother? With today's hard disk sizes, likely the better choice to simply leave it there but ignore it and use your favorite browser du jour, retaining IE "just in case" for future needs such as checking the view of web content to see if things are the same or something may not be seen with your current browser, etc. - Especially if you use your browser for things such as online purchsing or the purchase/downloading of programs such as Band in a Box, etc. - Usually not a problem, but we still might occasionally encounter a webpage that works and shows everything in say, IE but may not do the same in another browser. Or the other way around, which is rarer, I think, but may happen. But it is painfully obvious to me that many commercial websites use microsoft development tools that are, *ahem* shall we say, optimized for IE.
