IE9 came out this week to go toe to toe with Google Chrome v10 and FireFox.

I'm running IE8 on both my laptops.

Everything I've read confuses me. But thats not hard to do nowadays!! ;)

BD, My wife used to have a hard time too when she was pregnant. It's probably just your hormones being out of whack!! :)

BD,

I've had IE9 for a while now, the beta version. It's OK. I usually use Chrome or Firefox, have all three installed on my machines. They all have some things that are better than the others, but it's personal preference. Chrome I think runs pretty fast for browsers, I like the different add-ons I can put on it.

I keep IE updated, because sometimes you will hit a site that wants to work better with IE than some of the other browsers. So, depending on what I am doing, will decide the browser.

I've had it for about 3 weeks. I still prefer Firefox.

You've had morning sickness for three weeks?

Land of Fruits and Nuts? They gotta be more careful, out in the back country.

Firefox, all the way and I've been running v.4 beta which was upgraded to release candidate recently and I like it.

My favourite feature is Sync. Verbatim copy from their website:

Synchronize your settings, passwords, bookmarks, history, open tabs and other customizations across multiple devices so you can take Firefox with you wherever you go.

Safari, since I'm usually on my Mac, but when on PC I use FireFox.

cajun2wheels · 03-16-2011, 07:30 PM

Tried them all and keep coming back to Firefox.

blowndodge · 03-16-2011, 07:41 PM

Well I'm trying chrome 10 right now and it's way faster than IE8

AlabamaNomadRider · 03-16-2011, 10:58 PM

Brad, I downloaded IE9 on my laptop last night. I can't tell there is any difference from IE8. Maybe in a few days I will be able to tell you more.

blowndodge · 03-17-2011, 08:40 AM

I've been using google chrome 10 now for 48 hours now and I can't believe the difference. My web pages load instantly like I have 100meg speed. I'm so shocked! IE SUCKS!!!! I'm going to download Firefox as a secondary browser as it gets great reviews as well.

My new ACER notebook now loads web pages faster then my neighbors laptop and he has 20 meg fiber optics. He can't believe it either.... least to say he's on Chrome now..

Realized that years ago. Way too bloated and quite insecure.
