    Microsoft has warned consumers that a vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser could let hackers gain access and user rights to their computer.

    The flaw affects Internet Explorer (IE) versions 6 to 11 and Microsoft said it was aware of "limited, targeted attacks" to exploit it.

    According to NetMarket Share, the IE versions account for more than 50% of global browser market.

    Microsoft says it is investigating the flaw and will take "appropriate" steps

          If I don't need a fully HTML5 compatible browser for testing I use chrome.
