I tried it but haven't reloaded it on my computer since formatting it and switched to firefox. I actually did like it better then the other versions much faster but fire fox still beats it.

Actually Apples safari in Windows is the fastest browser

Even faster on a mac using OSX

Don't care for the new toolbar layout. And it cut my Favs list down with that suggested sites block.
But seems to load faster.

I just installed this. It's.......I dunno......kinda weird. Its like everything is more vivid. I guess it will just take some getting used to.

What a great Firefox icon, Run!

Hmm, should be made into a Firefox Lush Theme.

I have IE8 on my computer...and love it. The best part is when you open the second window...and have the option of IN PRIVATE browsing. If you have others using the same computer....their is no way for them to find out what sites you have visited.

The new uploads seems to cause a melt down.

Sites won't load. and bring a troubleshooting screen - ALOT

I tired the beta version when it came out I liked it was very fast and reliable. If sites don't load it isn't the browser I found just refreshing the site gets it to load up properly. Granted I am sure there may be a few sites out there that won't load till they get it updated to support the new IE8 but so far it is the best job Microsoft has done with it to date.

There's no way you'll ever get me to use anything but google chrome...

IMHO, it even beats firefox... at least for my computer, since it always seems to crash when running ff.

IE8 doesn't seem that bad at all.

However on some sites it messes with the layout of the pages - headers in the wrong place and things like that. They have some silly "compatability" mode to supposedly fix pages that don't look right - who wants to be messing with thoese settings each time while surfing, when IE7 and Firefox both load all the pages correctly?

Gav might be able to help us out here, might be something to do with some new web standards or something.

from a technical standpoint, IE8 is their best yet. its css2 compatible, so sites *should* render exactly the same in FF, chrome, safari and IE8.

@ling-li, you probably find it more stable than FF because they isolate each tab separately. this means a plugin (flash) or a slow javascript page wont crash your browser, unlike FF, *cough* *cough*

i have just added browser sniffing to the home page. if i detect an IE6 browser they get a dirty big red error message, upgrade your out of date browser, please, wont you think of the children.

my browser of choice is still FF3x, i couldnt live without my plugins....

I only did it because everytime I came here to the site, it kept telling me my browser was out of date.

we have to join the movement, get people off that 8 year old browser

takes me twice as long doing development, trying to get things working in IE6.

browser sniffing, has its moments


@bat, would definitely recommend the new dell xps 13, with solid state drive, esp if the company is paying!

You can adjust that in Options. You have it set to erase passwords when you close out. Change that and you won't have that issue.

Even better: go to Tools, then click Delete Browsing History and you will see various items to check or uncheck. If you un-check Passwords it should stop clearing you out. Hope this helps.

I had to get rid of it! It was terrible! Slowed my computer way down, and always opened double windows when going to internet explorer.
