There used to be a time where I did actually use IE as my default browser at work when doing frontend web dev stuff as the idea was if I was using the most difficult browser by default, I would catch abnormalities quicker. Wasn't such a bad idea to be fair. Although now I do just use Chrome by default.

Internet Explorer has it's uses. Where I live, one of the major ISPs is still using Silverlight for their on demand streaming platform. Edge blocks Silverlight, Chrome blocks Silverlight, Firefox does allow it if you install the plug-in, but Internet Explorer runs it out of the box!
It's basically as discontinued Microsoft product party 🎉 -
@ErwinJanssen Sky Go I'm guessing?

Made my day 😂😂
This made me laugh
A new sales guy in a startup I used to work at was using Internet Explorer. I told him why are you using IE, it's a shitty browser and how frontend devs suffer to support it.
Before I continued, he interrupted me saying that he used to be the regional head of sales team in Microsoft and started defending IE.
I was like Oookaaayy.
......he left the company a week or two later
