Title: Internet Explorer 8
Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Tuesday, September 9, 2008, 21:04:45
Bloody hell just downloaded this to have a look. Really fast and loads everything very very efficiently! Well impressed plus has a private surf function!

You've got the beta version of the new Google Chrome if you like to play with new browsers. Quite sleek. Didn't run very well on my computer, although there are some interesting ideas behind it.

To be honest I can't do without Firefox just because of adblock.

Am thinking of waiting until a few more people have tested it first:

Now what about Chrome?

I dislike IE alot. A hell of a lot. I like FF a great deal, mainly due to it's priceless addons. It's not the fastest to load, but once it's loaded up, a browser is pretty much a browser in terms of page load times, so who cares? Chrome is supposed to be very good and quick, although the idea of Google gaining yet more of an insight it to what i/we/everyone do online means i will never accept it. Opera is also very good, but for me it has to be Firefox and my browser will never, ever, ever be IE.

Can I venture Safari as a cracking browser? The Mac version, at least.

The windows version is gash ...

That's true, although never used it myself. I'd also like to state the reason i dislike IE the most though and that's its rather amusing interpretation (or wild guessing i should say) of some html and lots of css. Wankers.
