As you already know.

Sorry, still don't get how they force you to use it.

Yep. That's the way to do it.


But it can be done without using IE at all.

Some sites do not appear correctly in FF and also parts of the sites are not accessible. If, as I do, one wishes to go to these areas on the sites I am referring to, one would have to use IE. [possibly certain other browsers would also work but with the IEView FF extension it's the simple solution for me right now]
IE has always worked fine for me when I've used it, though I do have good security and so on installed.

So ok I don't have my arm twisted to use IE but I wish to use these other sites NOW.🙂

Then you agree you aren't forced.

However, by choosing to comply you're helping to keep the Internet the dangerous place it is for most users.

Plonker.

I'm not forced to eat.
But if I don't, I die.

I'm not forced [in your context of the word] to use IE but if I don't I don't get the full benefits of the other sites' features.

Maybe you would simply refuse to use sites like that, I wouldn't.
Who's losing out?
YOU.
