>>> it must be IE that is rubbish
No surprise there then! Most web designers stopped trying to make web pages 'IE-friendly' about a decade ago. Many designers now ONLY test pages with Chrome and Firefox (for PCs and laptops) and for Opera, Safari, Dolphin, etc (for mobile devices). Even Edge isn't always taken into consideration when designing websites these days.
Firefox appears to be the most popular browser (for desktops and PCs) among AB members, with Chrome (which is the most popular browser in the world) not far behind. Very, very few people use Internet Explorer these days (unless, say, they're stuck with it at work because their bosses won't allow anything else to be installed on their PCs).
I can never seem to really get along with Chrome, which is why I use Firefox. If you find that you also don't fully like Chrome, try Firefox, Avant or Vivaldi. (They're all infinitely better than IE!)
