Are you going to try Internet Explorer 9 ?

Microsoft recently released IE 9 which promises faster, safer and more convenient web browsing than any other browser.

Is this enough for you to give the new version a try?

im pretty happy with firefox and chrome. and one more opera

IE gives us more alternative for browser, but there long way to go (yeah you all know whats that)

I have been using the beta for quite some time with no issues
The ability to easily disable plugins is great.
The clutter free ff4 styling is awesome
It utilises that expensive graphics card/cards
5!

It is kind of a winner.

I'm fine using Firefox for now. Maybe one day I'll install it to try it out; but right now I'm not going to bother.

IE9 is not bad, but it's no Opera. I'll stick to my favorite browser, but kudos to Microsoft for releasing (at least somewhat) standards-compliant browser that doesn't suck.

If stuff is spelled wrong its because IE9 doesn't have spell check or something
Well here is my take on this i did 3 runs each on same server.

When useing IE9 the web pages do load faster than my firefox(it is up-to-date) and IE9 scrolls much more smothly

Oh and by the way I pay for Speed (d/u) 512K/256K

One thing i can't stand most is this such a small box

Firefox



IE9

I downloaded it purely for compatibility purposes.

Some things only work with I.E.

For example remote access to my phone only works in I.E

I'm using IE9 now.
It is faster than FF, but for same reasons as pantherx12 above I constantly switch between FF and IE.

Is anybody else having problems with Adobe Flash Player on IE9?

I get this (which is almost funny), and when I close IE9, proceed with the install and reopen IE9 youtube still tells me I need flash player..

I'll upgrade to it when it shows up on Windows Update.


I do like IE6 but it is such a malware magnet.
