Default Internet Explorer 9

I like Internet Explorer and have been a supporter over the years but I have to say that IE9 is annoying me. It appears to not pick up the headers from a webpage sometimes (as in http headers) and as such hangs waiting for the page to load. It doesn't print properly, Javascript seems to be hit or miss, foreign langauge pages do not display correctly and so on and so on.

If I come across a 'misbehaving' page, open the same thing in Chrome and it is fine. Which of course warrants the question why use IE at all.

Microsoft probably have a few weeks to release some sort of patch before I give up on it.

Internet Explorer, i didn`t know anyone used that anymore .... Its the equivelant of what a betamax is to a bluray.

Firefox for me, chrome as a backup.

Interesting topic

I have never used anything other than the latest IE, happy with it but curious to know what Chrome and Firefox are like as they both seem to come up when these things are debated.

Is it just a case of downloading and installing and if you dont like either just d/l IE and reinstall (or is it already tucked away in a folder somewhere)

You can have them running at the same time. As mentioned, when IE9 has a fit, I just open up chrome and go to the page instead.

Mmmm. Just tried to print my expenses from IE9 (to Adobe Acrobat) and it printed gibberish. Loaded in Chrome and it is fine.

Bye-Bye IE9 ...
