If you've just switched from Windows to Mac, try one of the browsers suggested above instead. There are absolutely no compelling reasons to use Internet Explorer for Mac.

Since development finished in 2005, Internet Explorer for Mac doesn't offer even the most basic features that you would consider a prerequisite on any browser nowadays like tabs, extensions, saved sessions or private data management. Internet Explorer for Mac is incredibly slow, buggy, prone to crashes and freezing and is woefully short of security settings. We couldn't even render the Softonic website in it and indeed, most websites failed to load properly. However, for normal internet browsing we'd really discourage you from using it. However, if you really can't help yourself and are an Internet Explorer nostalgic, you might want to try it for a trip down memory lane. Alternatively, just check out all of the other browsers available for Mac.

Since the browser is no longer designed to handle the requirements of most modern web pages, we strongly advise you to try Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera instead. Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and does not provide further security or performance updates.
