The official "I HATE Internet Explorer 8 Thread!"

[AndyP & Lenore]

Hate it.:ragin:

There isn't a day goes past when I don't have to close ALL the IE windows, but cause it refuses to open a fresh one. Close all the open ones and it will open news ones again quite happily - for a couple of hours then it buggers up again.

Hate it.:ragin: Hate it.:ragin: Hate it.:ragin:

My work runs Explorer and I've never had a problem with it:popcorn: I run Firefox at home tho:thumbs up:

[Smitty]

Well why not change? :Whistle::p

The Internet Browser market isn't a monopoly you know. And it's pretty simple to change ;) :D

IE 8 been fine with me, the occaisonal unable to open but nothing to get too wound up about, nothing nearly as bad as IE 7 now that was a pile of :hand:.

[The Dogfather]

The new Safari is excellent and so quick. Time to try Firefox Andy methinks

Not sure Ally. I thought it was the real deal, but the update may fix some of the bugs.

[Ally S]

you would probably only have the beta version if you had downloaded it yourself and not through the update process.

Fi - have you tried Open Office instead? Opens all the standard Office docs and is pretty good for all I need at home.

[Ferengo]

Using a mac with firefox. No time for your Microsoft nonsense :p.

[AndyP & Lenore]

IE is officially ditched. Switched to Google Chrome. Does everything it says on the tin. Doesn't freeze up and is a simple, uncluttered browser.

IE7 at home and IE8 in work were both freezing when trying to open new pages when we already had a browser open. All updates downloaded and installed but still wouldn't work.

Stuff it, life's too short.:thumbs up:

One thing though... Google Chrome's own spell checker wants to change Google to Goggle. Go figure.:frown:

A.:D

[Gismo]

And i went back to IE8 after the last round of updates and have not had any problems, don't ya just love Bill Gates :argh:
