    What internet browser do you use?

    I had internet explorer 7. While on You Tube a message came up and said that "You Tube will not be supporting internet explorer 7 much longer". Well I hit this upgrade to explorer 9 button. I was thinking I was doing myself a favor by installing explorer 9. Well I quickly found out that It sucks. It is very glitchy and slow. So I went and put on Google Chrome. Google Chrome runs extremely fast and without the glitches. Am I the only one who has problems with explorer 9 or is this common Thanks in advance ROB

    Those that declare that they (029/290) won't hold up bc of the lack of pro design
    are merely ill-informed or are ignorant.

    It doen't look good to anyone else I guess, except maybe for a few "brand fans".

    The latest IE with Norton Internet Security.

    I have a good rig and fast cable net, so I don't notice much lag.

    I primarily use Firefox but use IE 9 and Chrome too. IE won't open a link without right clicking and then clicking "open". Pages for this site load too slow with Chrome.

    nope. IE9 does act up quite a bit on many web sites. i rarely use it and most often use mozilla. however, even mozilla acts up now and then and locks up on me, just like IE9.

    i'm running win7 ultimate.

    i tried google chrome, but wasn't impressed. maybe they have made improvements to it(?)

    i'll download it and try it out.

    i have tried others like opera...that sucked.
    always on.......slightly off

    I mostly use Firefox or Chrome.

    I hate IE but sometimes have to use it for work. Seems like the first year or two of an IE version sucks, then by the time that they fix all of the bugs, they're moving on to the next crappy version. In my opinion, they should work out all of their problems in Test before going live with the product, especially considering its terrible reputation.

    Having said that, I am using MS's beta version of Windows 8. It's pretty cool. Way less buggy than Windows Vista, which is what I had before, and it was free to download. The only problem is, it does not play well with my display driver or Adobe Flash. But then, Adobe Flash has its own set of annoying problems.

    From what I can see each browser must vary from place to place. One works better in one area than others. Example some say that Google Chrome dont work very well but for me is great. Maybe is associated with the system you have also.

    I mainly use IE, but will use Firefox for some apps. I have found the key is keeping the B.S. off the computer. All the spam, phishing, add-ons, mal-ware, etc. are what really slow my computer down.
