The perils of using Internet Explorer as your default browser

wroot I think you are missing some very key points and also taking an outdated approach when it comes to users and what they know (or don't know). We are moving, very rapidly, where being ignorant of technology and things like which browser you use, or not even knowing the name of them like you gave an example of, is no longer going to be acceptable without being really dangerous. It is going to be up to those that know to educate those that don't, instead of trying to create crutches for them to stand on, or things that hide reality from them. You have to realize that by doing this, the "easy button" the author references, you are doing users a disservice and ultimately yourself a disservice, because years down the road, this is all going to come to a head where none of these band-aids no longer work and you nor your users are prepared to adapt to the change that started probably decades before. This reminds me of an article I read yesterday where leasing companies are on a mad dash to install smart locks in their units, but the security of the systems are the last thing on any of their minds. They aren't even considering the potential issues that could come into play from a central system that can unlock doors and are taking the words of the companies that their solutions are safe, despite ridiculous requirements like they be connected to a user's personal router and internet connection and the IoT devices they are using in a lot of cases already have vulnerabilities out and/or they don't have a clear plan to keep them updated or support. Anyone half paying attention to security can see the issue with this. But the average person is not paying attention to security when it comes to digital devices. The same people who lock their home, install home security systems, (that run on PRIVATE NETWORKS) put their money in banks, lock their cars, etc. aren't paying attention when it comes to these devices. It's going to take legislation to save these people or more likely, a massive event where someone breaks in, unlocks thousands of homes and people get robbed or worse. In other words, when it is too late. This article is warning you to do something before it gets too late. It's up to you to listen though.
