So I have officially given up all hope on Internet Explorer...

[limitedretroog]

As we all know, Internet Explorer has a reputation for being incredibly slow... Well, 8 has been released pretty recently (Beta), so I was thinking, 'Oh,
since Internet Explorer has such a bad reputation, maybe Microsoft will fix the bugs that were in the previous versions', right? WRONG. I had just
installed it and right when I opened up the web browser, it took like, 5 minutes just to open up msn.com! Other than VERY TINY changes in the layout, it's
basically the exact same as 7. It's freezing right now on Google while I'm posting this on Chrome as we speak! So, it's official... I have given up
all hope on Internet Explorer...

Oh yeah, GOOGLE CHROME FTW!


FireFox and Opera are pretty much tied for 2nd.

Strange..i have never had problems with Internet Explorer..i should download the new one..

 

[rocksfan25]

Opera is my choice as best browser with Firefox a distant second.

 

[icyyyesr two3]

Mozilla all day. ^_^

 

[knightngale]

I gave up on I.E. in 2004

 

[ajchick23]

Umm I.E. was given up on a longggg time ago bruh...it's just not safe for browsing w/o getting a virus.

I then turned to Firefox and just recently that started screwing up.

Now I'm happily married to Safari (I might try google chrome next)

This thread seems to fall in line with the "hating Microsoft is cool" trend. IE does lock up, but no moreso than FireFox or Safari.
