I don't use IE at all.
i use IE only to test website developed by me.

Except for Sharepoint websites, where the action is just the opposite:
Close Chrome and open IE.

There is always option available in Market. So go for it....

What I don't get is how many companies sell a web-based product and can't seem to keep their javascript functions up to date. I am thinking of a particular web-based self-storage management solution that is completely unusable with Chrome, FF, Opera, or IE 11. Come on guys! It's javascript, not rocket science!

Trying to make JavaScript work in all browsers is like doing maintenance on the hull of a space-bound rocket 5000 feet in the air.

Recently I was filling up a government application form and there was document attachment section where you have to select what kind of document it is. It was a dropdown with 163 options in non alphabetical order and each selected option will populate sub category dropdown. Every time you select an option page refresh and you have to wait for sub category to update. After few documents I was fed up and have to look at page source to select proper option. I was thinking about poor souls who are not so tech savvy.

That's just pathetic.

I ordered Vegetarian pizza on a Pizza website and they delivered a BBQ chicken. How do you feel when you serve this for your guest???
I talked to the manager over the phone, we found the website processed the order incorrectly.

I found that for some legacy websites, e.g. for devices like ip-camera's, it helps to use the 32-bits version of IE. This is still included in Windows-7, don't know about higher Windows versions.

Why else would I have IE11, Chrome and Firefox all installed on my machine.

... because (after changing ownership) their site required IE and ActiveX controls enabled!
I did write an e-meil, telling them to please change their site to something more secure, and they responded with a written letter (yes, snail mail!), claiming that their site is by all standards secure. Didn't take me an hour to write a letter in return to the effect of cancelling the fund.

I use it when a site is not opening, sometimes microsoft msdn

Yep. Cache works great, and when I need to follow links to equally messed up pages, Google Translate does wonders! (set to 'show original', because the translation most often isn't helpful )

Except the site for tax paying, that works only on IE6(!) I can't remember a site that didn't worked me with Chrome...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

The Virgin Media online TV portal doesn't work in Chrome because the in-built Flash (or equivalent) does not support DRM. The site suggests using a more up-to-date browser. Even when using the latest version.

I would not bother with a long, detailed message to the owner but I will often send a short, concise message telling them what I was doing and what the result was.

I've found that this approach often isn't practical or worth the effort as the sites exposing problems appear to be hiding any ways of contacting them, or else, require registering. I won't bother playing hide and seek with contact info on bad sites, and neither am I going to register with them - if their registration is equally bad, I won't leave my fingerprints there.
OTOH, if I ever come across a site that offers a painless way to sending information while not working as expected in my browser(s), I will definitely consider sending them a message. However, I haven't spotted such a site yet.

I agree, making contact even marginally difficult instantly eliminates any response. I have pointed out a few faults to some of the regular sites I use and some have been most appreciative, most never acknowledge the contact.

if I really want to check the site, then I get a beer or some bacon and have patience.
If I have not so big interest, I just leave

I use something like a 7 second rule (it could be more or less seconds, and it might not be "rule" or "law" but you get the idea)
- The first 7 seconds are the most important. The user will want to know "what am I looking at?" and "what can I do here?" (Even if it is not the first time the user visits)
- If you kept the user's attention (s)he will pay more close attention for a second phase of 7 seconds. The first questions still linger, but in addition the user will search for how (s)he can perform a task or navigate through the site.
- If you kept the user's attention for this first 14 seconds (s)he will actually start using the site until no more needed.

It's usually a java scrip error.
But on a side note, Those sites that make you view advertising for 30 or 60 seconds before you can read the news, I fire up inspect element in Firefox and disable the modal ad in about 10 seconds. There are some sites in which the ad never goes away, or you click close ad and it doesn't close, inspect element for sure.

If it's one of the web pages I've developed then off I go to debugging it. This, naturally, is only hypothetical in that it is always perfection and all bugs are browser or user problems.
After that, it depends, but unless it's someone I know who'd appreciate the feedback, I realize I may as well just throw the small fry back into the lake and try my luck again after it grows up.
