I hate IE. It's so slow, it's full of crap. Mozilla is lightweight, and has tons of add-ons that you can download. Safer, too.

haha I was joking, I said that while I was installing it, it works fine when you are "emulating version 7" even though you have to restart it to make it take effect, and the thing on the far right, wtf is up with that some kind of editor tools? I restored my computer just now and I'm sticking with Firefox, I might re install the final version of ie8 and see what it's like then, but until then I'm sticking with Firefox. I opened like two tabs and the thing froze for like a sec, it shouldn't of even been released yet, It is like the same thing as ie7 except for the beta version on 8 is crapppp.

It's not that bad. Since I don't really use it, I'll keep it. It will just be updated with auto update...

well considering I use it like once in a while, I want it to work perfectly, so whats the sense of keeping it when the other one is perfect, and looks the same, and or acts the same.

i have no problems with ie7 or 8 they run perfect to me and run just as fast as firefox or mozilla, considering its built into windows i would say it'd have to run faster

I complelty agree with you. They should scrap Internet Explorer. Let the god almighty Mozzila FireFox takes it place. Even though everyone likes FireFox better. More people still use Internet Explorer, because they don't know about it.

If anyone is interested in the browser:member percentages on PTF, here's a chart for this month. (I blacked out the exact numbers, but the percents are there).

Firefox wins! We have some smart members at PTF, don't we?
