Internet explorer updates11/23/2023 ![]() Yes, it’s very likely that if you do this you’ll need to do it using Internet Explorer. In some version of Windows one way to get updates is to visit the Windows Update web site. I think that there are two potentially confusing issues at play here: visiting the Windows Update web site, and the inability to completely uninstall Internet Explorer. So let me be extra clear: there is no requirement that you use Internet Explorer in order to keep your system up to date or your anti-malware tools running. Personally I happen to use Chrome, but that’s just a personal preference for its overall feel and performance. They’re all fine browsers, and I really have nothing today that would cause me to wave you off of using any of them. Popular competitors to IE include browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. The net result is that many people avoid IE just on principle. Internet Explorer suffers from a bad reputation in many circles, mostly due to security and compatibility issues in previous versions. While the current version is now a solid browser that compares well against the others, that bad reputation remains pretty tough to overcome. Quite the contrary: Use whatever browser you like. While Internet Explorer does occupy what I’d call a “special” place in Windows, that doesn’t mean you’re required to run it and only it, forsaking all others. I’m afraid your technician either misunderstands the situation or perhaps he miscommunicated what he meant.
