Hi, does anyone know where I can get internet explorer for mac?

IE is not available for Mac OS X.

Safari (comes with the OS) or Firefox (free download) are two good alternatives.

IE for mac stopped at version 5 in 2003.

IE for Mac OS X 5.2.3

This is the last version I had (I have deleted it). I just ran it recently and it pretty much does not work on most of the sites that I visit. The advice to use Safari, Firefox is the best advice. But they might have a copy on softpedia (or you can Google around for it).

Yes, however you need a continuum transfunctioner and a delorean to take you back to 2001.

No need for IE on the Mac. Get Chrome, Safari or Firefox instead 🙂

There's supposed to be a way to get IE to run on OSX using Wine Bottler, but I haven't been able to make it work. Instead, I have various Windows XP guest OS'es installed with VirtualBox for testing purposes.

I highly recommend FireFox for Mac, it has many useful addons.

I'm a big fan of Chrome these days too. Chrome finally has add-ons, and is incredibly fast -- faster than Firefox by a long shot. I still use Firefox for development, but Chrome is my daily browser.

BTW, I have an intense hatred of Internet Explorer. I recently did a big project where we HAD to support IE6. IE6 is awful, and IE7 and 8 aren't a whole lot better. I wish IE would just die a horrible, horrible death and go away forever.
