Even without support from Microsoft for IE, if it is a known site like

Amazon.com or the BARD site, there are no security threats and Internet Explorer is perfectly safe. Most people come across malicious sites either from fishing eMails or a web search. Even if I believe a message is from a legitimate site, I will typically go to that site from my bookmarks and look for the information that the eMail refers to. I see a lot of fishing messages like my account needs updating or something like that, and they want you to follow the link to your account. When you check the properties of that link, you find it is not going to the site that they are claiming. That is where IE has problems, in fact, many browsers may have problems with a link from a fishing message. And even if folks prefer IE, it should not be your default browser, because if you are tired and make a mistake on such a message, you want to have some protection that Chrome or FireFox is better suited to provide.

This most often happens after I enter a search term into the Amazon search field. The search results page will begin to load, but as soon as I try scrolling through the results, boom, the browser crashes. Trying to restore the session from the restore dialog that pops up when I relaunch the browser never works, and almost always causes the browser to crash again when it attempts to reload the Amazon search results page. It does not matter whether I use the latest version of Chrome, the latest version of Firefox or Firefox 52 ESR. Interestingly,I do not experience these problems when using IE to access Amazon.com, proving yet again that reports of IE's uselessness as a web browser have been greatly exagerrated.
