Internet Explorer 8 ?

[toolman1954]

Having now used Chrome for a few months I would not revert back to Explorer.I find using the " Omnibox " very useful for quick searches. Load it up and give it a try for a few weeks, it will import all your Explorer favourites so there is nothing to lose.

I tried installing Opera yesterday on this notebook. Scrolling much faster than IE8, but snags with the consistency of rendering of pages (iplayer was occasionally a column filling a quarter of the screen in the centre).
Took a look through advanced options in IE8 and turned off soft scrolling. The result; 9,000,300,057 times better on the scrolling front which has been my main gripe about IE8 on the Atom processor.

On the strength of comments here I may give Chrome a go if all the display snags have been fixed.....

I'd give it a go I've had no problems so far.

Don't think there is a good one between the lot of them, I chop and change between IE8, Chrome and Firefox depending on what I'm doing on the net as some are better than others at certain things but never had a problem with IE8

I do exactly the same. quite like chrome for its speed, but still mostly use ie 8

Thanks for all your replies, on the basis that you guys have pointed out that i could later change it, i'v just accepted ie8.

I found that Chrome has too much advertising, it also sends info to Google even if you opt out

SRWare Iron

is much more secure and based on the same source code

Firefox here... but I do some web development and the add ons/tools available for firefox means its no contest.. I suspect chrome will start to have these add ons as it develops..

No way would I go back to IE whatever version.. bloatware at its worst..
