So, You Want to Download
Internet Explorer for Mac?
Why?
With so many better options out now, I don't
know of any good reason to download internet explorer for Mac. Unless
you want to see how your website appears, I cannot
find another use for Microsoft Internet Explorer for Mac.
Microsoft ended support for the Mac version of
their browser on December 31st, 2005. It does not provide any security
or performance updates.
The last version (IE 5.2.3) enhanced browser
compatibility for network users using proxy servers or secure
authentication. It also came with the latest security and performance
enhancements for IE5 for Mac OS X.
Macs use to come with Internet Explorer Mac
version. It felt (and behaved)
like a foreign application. If you'd like to see what you're not
missing, you will discover a complicated and clunky design, slow
performance and without today's necessary security settings. Oh, it
also crashes a lot.
Look Ma, No Tabs
Internet Explorer for Macintosh comes without
modern features you would
expect to see in today's browsers such as:
- extensions
- private data management
- saved sessions
- tabs
Even back in the day, it was not a great browser.
Using it now feels especially archaic.
Still want to download IE for Mac? You will need:
- Mac OS X version 10.1.5 or later
- Apple QuickTime version 5.0.2 or later
Download
But, If you are looking for a good browser, try
one of these instead:
- Camino
- Firefox
- Flock
- Opera
- Safari
