To do that, simply uninstall IE8 from the "Add/remove software"-menu in the control panel and reboot. įor everything to work fine, you'll have to downgrade your IE-version to the oldest one you want to test with.Usually you'll need that for security, but it's perfectly fine for our case too. Sandboxie is a program to run other programs in a so-called sandbox.
The latter works without issues, Microsoft even offers temporary VMs for IE, but it needs way too much disk space and having to always change the VMs will get on your nerves soon.īecause I liked neither of those solutions, I made my own with which I am able to run multiple, full-featured versions of IE on the same machine. Standalone versions are obviously not the right way. The former solution never really works - I tried many of those standalone versions and there were some problems that always showed up: The Javascript message dialog (and others) would not display ("Error opening dialog" or something alike) which makes Javascript testing night-impossible, and often times the "old" IE used the rendering engine or javascript engine of the new version (working png-transparency in IE6 is a dead giveaway). Either you use a so-called standalone version (a hack) or you use multiple virtual machines. I don't know what the attraction is but the entire Internet has become lemmings rushing toward Google Chrome.Searching the Internet, you'll only find two possibilities to run multiple versions of Internet Explorer. The old "change the useragent" trick doesn't work either. Unfortunately I am encountering more and more websites that do not work - at all - with anything other than Google Chrome or one of the Chrome derivatives. So I really don't have much to complain about. Just for those reasons, I'm willing to overlook the reasons why it or Mozilla can be infuriating sometimes.Īnd if I'm honest, it's been quite a while since I've been truly infuriated by Firefox or Mozilla. it's configurable up the wazoo, in ways the Google, Microsoft and Apple spying tools aren't (by design: the user is just there to be spied on, not to be given configuration options).
It's not Google's spying tool - or one of the numerous derivatives thereof, some of which pretend to be more privacy friendly but really aren't - Microsoft's spying tool or Apple's spying tool. And there's Mozilla behind it, which isn't a great asset.
