anyone having fun with the new IE8,it is about has secure has a seive and freezes continously,you cannot remove it if you have the vista service pack 3 installed as well,it has already a great reputation,if you would like to remove it then follow these instructions

How do I remove the latest IE update - Internet Explorer 8?


why release a product then need thousands of security patches?

IE has lost 11.4 percent of market share to other browsers ? i wonder why

Firefox rules. I don't know why people bother with Windows when there's Ubuntu out there which can run Sun's 'Virtualbox' with Windows as a VM.

i am due a new pc soon,i think i will have to rethink on microsoft products,i am a creature of habit though and don't like change....

I have Always used IE out of habit

about 3 months ago i decided to give firefox a proper try,
I have not gone back,

deliajen, i can strongly recommend it. Especially for the amount of plugins available, have a look
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

and maybe try typing things like 'seo' and 'domain' separately into the search box.

Firefox speed up incase anyone hasn't seen it, makes a hell of a difference

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

try this and you can see the difference ...........

I like Opera better than Firefox, I have found over the years what Opera has today, firefox has in 6-9 months, and i.e. has in 6-9 years :P

On my laptop I use IE more tho

Same here, I used to use FireFox all the time until one of their upgrade, after that it was clunky as hell and slow, Opera is so much faster.

No probs mate, it makes a big difference when changed. I always used to think it was my broadband speed that was slow, then I changed those settings and seen it was actually my browser.
