Internet Explorer 8

Has anybody here tried Internet Explorer 8? I use Firefox mostly but sometimes IE works better for certain things like my banking, etc. Up until now I have stayed with IE6 because it was faster than IE7, but I just got a notice from Google that they will soon not be accessible with IE7 and suggest installing IE8.

I'd appreciate hearing how people are finding it.

Thank you,

As usual, FF (3.5.1.) are better. But IE8, besides that some on line banks having slight problems with it. It's the best so far. Fast, and seems stable.

Thanks goranpaa,

I'll give it a try.

Yeah, I haven't really used IE 8 much at all. When I run into a site that has issues with Firefox, I use IE tab. Thankfully my bank's website works fine with Firefox. It's just some work related sites (for proposals, ect) that don't agree with Firefox.

EDIT: Page rendering and loading the program itself is so much faster on my computer. I'm guessing that loading Firefox is faster because of prefetching, but still.

I installed IE8 last night and had nothing but headaches with it. It wouldn't let me install it unless I also installed MSN, which I agreed to, but then it also install a few other programs. I tried to uninstall it but I couldn't find it in Add Remove Programs. I tried to do a system restore and it no longer functioned. It was like having a bad virus or Trojan. I finally had to use a special uninstalling program to get rid of it and get everything working properly again. And for anybody who might not know about it the program I used is a free download and it's an amazing little uninstaller. It's called Revo Uninstaller and can be downloaded here: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_..._download.html

I've tried Internet Explorer 8 myself and I had no serious problems with it. It works. To my experience it's more stable than version 7.

Thanks,

Maybe I'll try it again.
