Kill IE, please.

the only reason why I use IE one time every month is because i sometimes run into a site thats IE only, because it needs active x controls. i remember trying before to download some plugin for ff so i can visit active x pages, but it didnt work.

Not sure if it is my plug-ins or I just don't browse enough but I have never encountered a site I HAD to use IE for... Do you have an example?

I haven't either.

The only reasons I use IE (that come to mind at the moment) are:

1. Testing, because so many other folks (misguidedly) use it as either their primary or only browser.
2. To access Active X in the admin panels for a list program on a site I master - makes the message editor much more user friendly.
3. Nostalgia/Curiosity.

Definitely worth keeping around for just those. It is a ticking time bomb though if one is not extremely careful with it.
