image: systemtipsforyou.blogspot.com: IE8 was fastest in rendering 12 of 25 sites, said Microsoft, while Chrome took second by beating the others on nine sites. Firefox, meanwhile, was a distant third, coming in first on just four of 25 domains...WOW!!...i`m changing to IE8 right now!!... :lol:

it ain't faster than Safari ...

[KiwiCoromandel]

i`m playing around with it (IE8) now...pretty fast all right....compared to Mosaic or Netscape Navigator 3.0...you can see that i have nothing to hide on my hard drive..because if i did have i wouldn`t be using this now would i !!!..

[KiwiCoromandel]

IE8 is fairly quick but forget the comparisons to opera and firefox..i use both browsers regularly and it`s not even close...safari 4 seems to be very much speedier that IE8 too...

I'll stick to Firefox and its security features and add-ons.

NoScript is a beautiful thing.

I only use IE and firefox. ....and I wonder why I use IE.

It runs slower than sub-freezing snail snot and freezes with a regularity that makes ExLax jealous. The only pop-ups it blocks are the ones I am trying to see such as banking or download links. Fuck Bill Gates and the mule he rode in on.

...but other than that it is ok.

oh dear...onsite test...shock reload times for IE8, FF 3, and opera 10... :o ...IE8 first, opera 10 second, firefox 3 waayyyy behind....even allowing for the ancient timer i used..

That's only because you are on the bottom of the planet and are looking at shit upside down.

Yobama has too much to do to be following anybody.

Spears is looking better lately. I'd make sure she has had all of her shots before I'd hit it.

...although nobody has died from looking.

Microsoft did not test other browsers, such as Apple Inc.'s Safari or Opera Software ASA's Opera, said James Pratt, a senior product manager on the IE development team, because it wanted to focus on rivals that "had a good share on the Windows platform."

Right - they would have gotten their ass kicked!

[Redneck4sure]

They tested all of them 4sure. They lied about some and omitted the rest.

Yes..We heard you! Better bookmark features were a top request from our users. It's now easier to switch between another browser and Google Chrome with the bookmark import and export features, and we added a new simple way to manage large numbers of bookmarks, too.....better bookmark features..YES!!...finally..
