Internet Explorer 5 Editor's Review Browse the internet with Microsoft's flagship browser on your Mac Back in the day, running IE was never an afterthought. You did it because it was the best browser around or because you used it on a Windows box at work, and running it at home was a no brainer. Running it on a Mac was a challenge, that is until Microsoft released IE 5 for Mac. Internet Explorer 5 is the latest version of its flagship browser that Microsoft developed exclusively for Mac users. You can use it on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.x or EARLIER. Internet Explorer 5 for Mac uses a rendering engine called Tasman.

It was designed to be more compliant with the W3C standards in HTML 4.0, CSS Level 1, DOM Level 1, and ECMAScript. It also supports the PNG image standard, DOCTYPE switching, Text Zoom and XML source view. It also included an Auction Manager for tracking auctions in sites like eBay and an Internet Scrapbook to allow users to quickly and easily store and organize web content (for example an image or a piece of selected text). App Pro’s: Free App Con’s: Released in 2002 and not supported since 2005, Wants to install bloatware (Genio), actual app doesn't install until you get past the bloatware install, won't run on OS X 10.7 Lion and later, must use a Mac with Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and earlier Conclusion: Internet Explorer 5 for Mac is an ok browser. IE is full of security holes, and unfortunately, support for IE 5 for Mac ended in 2005, almost 9.5 years ago as of this writing. The app will NOT run on modern Macs anyway. The app requires Rosetta in order to run, and support for universal (apps that ran on both PowerPC-based Macs and Intel-based Macs) was removed in OS X 10.7, so this app will NOT run on Macs produced after 2010; and with technology that stretches back to 2002, you probably won't want it to, either.

Many of today's websites use technology that are not compatible with IE5 for Mac. MSN.com, for example, will not display correctly in this browser. You're going to run into compatibility issues like this with many websites, just be aware of this as you use the app. Internet Explorer 5 Publisher's Description.

Virtual Box free, Windows 7 Home Premium System Builder SP1 $92. IE9 is and can be secure and work just fine and I do prefer it to others, but Firefox lets me work in Apple Community easier is all. Safari still bogs down trying to open multiple tabs, isn't multi-thread efficient, isn't memory efficient or well behaved - beyond the advandages of keeping code in memory it is still a memory hog. Open the same 20 tabs in any other browser is the best way I know. I also don't trust Google that much for security, I consider Google tracking and adsense to be a nuisance. Firefox gives some semblance, especially with add-ons, to tracking, cookies, privacy, and blocking content the best.

Oh, and MacBook Pro? Or if you want to explore Safari. Any organisation running a website that still requires using Internet Explorer is run by morons.

Such persons purporting to be IT experts should be escorted off the premises and gently restrained in a straight jacket and sent to a padded cell in an institution for the criminally insane. (They should then be forced to use Microsoft Bob in perpetuity.) For those other disturbed persons who contrary to good advice wish to risk their sanity and worse security by running software even Microsoft no longer recommend there are free Virtual Machines purely for running Microsoft web-browsers. One of these could then potentially be run in VirtualBox. See Note: If your contract involves developing a website for use with Internet Explorer then arguably you are an accessory to a crime against humanity.

Thank you for addressing my question. I gather that the people who subscribe to this website do not like Internet Explorer and advise running, not walking away from it. The organization that uses this is medium to small sized, but has a large footprint in the community it services-that is huge. Does someone have a less colorful, but slightly more objective, serious assessment that I could show to someone from the company on the off chance that they can be persuaded by evidence? I am convinced I don't what to put this on my machine, and am working around pretty well with Google Chrome, but these folks are proudly touting their exclusive targeting of Internet Explorer 10. Therefore, there is more to come. It might be good to stem that if possible.
