Internet Explorer

According to StatCounter via CNET, Internet Explorer’s use is on the rise World wide.

I don’t use Internet Explorer. Every time I try there seems to be issues that cause it to freeze or crash. I suppose it could be a conflict on my computer somewhere, but if that is the problem, why is there no conflict with Firefox or Chrome?

Recently I have been using IE a bit more often, since I need to test an application in IE. Up until about three days ago it was working just fine, but then all at once  it would load blank pages whenever I clicked a link.

The usual suspect when there are browser problems is an add-in. In order to start fresh, I set IE back to the default state.



I rebooted but still nothing worked. Apparently the default state doesn’t disable add-ins.

So I opened the tools menu and selected Manage Add-ons.



There I found the culprit.



Once I disabled it, everything worked as it should. No more blank pages.
