Let's not insult people's families over web-browsers. As a web dev: I despise IE myself, but regardless, I can't blame parents for the typical "Don't install stuff I've never heard of on my machine! You'll break it or download a virus!!" mentality. I mean, you wouldn't want your parents installing some software you never heard of yourself onto your Hard Drive, correct?

The best thing to do in magemaster's case would be to explain to his/her dad that Chrome is a browser like netscape, opera, and internet explorer designed to be easier to use, better supported and safer (if only because it's targeted less than internet explorer) and it's made by the same people who run Google and YouTube. If he uses Bing and hasn't heard of YouTube then there really is no hope.

That said - I wouldn't say IE9 is bad. It's actually the first decent browser from Microsoft in 10 years. And by decent, I mean it doesn't try and break CSS and html or xhtml standards. It also runs a few impressive features. That said, I'm typing this in Chrome, so you can obviously tell what my home environment is. I support Firefox and Safari too honestly. (Could support Opera, but it's been forever since I've used Opera framework that wasn't on my Nintendo device).

Well at least Opera his/her father would possibly be familiar with (at name value)
