Guide Review - Internet Explorer 5.5
Internet Explorer is a wildly popular browser. This is partly because it is a part of the Windows operating system, and partly because of the lack of any viable competition. But this is a good Web browser, it has lots of options and supports many plug-ins. Also, because of the popularity of this browser, all Web developers should have a copy for testing even if they don't use it for daily browsing.
