Today, by mistake somehow i opened Internet Explorer. I was quiet surprised by how different it looked. Upon closer inspection i found it is Internet Explorer 11. I dont recall downloading it ever.. Anyways.... Once i started opening up pages i was quiet surprised at all the visduals. Something was wrong.
I opened up my good ol Chrome, and i realised there was a heaven-hell difference.

Just check the screenshot

Left: IE 11 Right: Chrome

I really wanna give IE 11 a go, seeing all the praises it got,it being the underdog now. But i cant really get into using it when it looks like SH*T. Its like 2 to 3 pages of the same website were overlapping each other. The fonts seem to be suffering from year 2000 Anti Aliasing issues.
I use ClearType in Display settings.

It's very hard to see the difference in picture.
And very hard for me to open IE to judge it myself.

It most probably was not about using a particular browser, it probably was about the IE, as a browser, and the claims being done by M$.
