How is IE8 ? any one tried?

i don't use IE, but i updated my xp sp3 and ie7 for just security purpose. but never use it

so, no IE8 for me unless they release full version and force me to update. LOL

 

I tried it as beta and it kept crashing all the time.
So i thought let it come out of beta then i will give it a try..
looks and some new features are added.
Not much difference in memory usage

 

for UnknownOne - just for your info, firefox imitated opera which had tabs A LONG (AND I MEAN LONG) time before Firefox was even a project ...

I haven't tried IE 8 yet, I wait for a stable version, not a beta, but i'm sure it will be faster than ie7 and more secure

 

I have been using ie8 for a while. i still love mozilla, but IE8 is a big step above ie7. I recommend you try it!

 

I had installed it on trail basis. Two things I have noticed are:

[1] It requires high memory. A single windows requires around 150 MB memory which is too high.
[2] When I end task IE from task manager, it start Internet Explorer again. That means, I can't end task it from Task manager.

So far I am happy with FireFox and have no plan to use IE.

When released, it had a lot of bugsl. i never tried it. Had serious problems

 

its same as IE7

 

I love Firefox i don't like to use EI so often

 

Thanks for sharing these info with us!
I will keep in touch with your blogreading..
Stumbled your URL…
have a great day

 

I was using IE in 2007 but i was facing problem in it after every few days . Within a week or 10 days it starts displaying messages like IE has encountered problem and need to be closed . When i click on report problem everything get closed . Many times this happened in between writing blogposts also . But after that i have not used it .

 

Depends. They are both excellent and light years ahead of IE8.

 

Its faster then IE7 but some of site are not optimize with IE8 so that why some site layout crash on IE8.

 

as always with M$ software it is going to full of security holes )

 

I am happy with firefox so I have not tried IE8 as yet but I have heard that it's not very good.

 

Still the shittiest browser out there.

Firefox 4 life.

 

I love IE8, it is much better than all the previous versions of IE8, however, firefox is better than IE8.

 

There is no reason to love IE8. It is 11 years behind web standards and holds back technological advancements on the web. IE is the worst thing on the planet right now.

 

I don't even know they release the 8 verison

 

For me IE8 is slow at opening new tabs.

 

it sucks to me cze whenever i use for sometime it closes the sites automatically promting an error , to me mozilla firefox is the bets of all browsers.
