A question about ie9
« on: June 03, 2011, 01:22:26 PM »
I got a download for ie9 but did not install it, what i would like to know is.

Is it ok to use it now that it's been out for a while.

Do you use it, and how do you find it.

I have it but nothing about it compels me to make it my default browser.  I've been using Firefox for a long time and also use Opera and will continue to do so.

However, I see no reason for IE 8 users not to get IE9.  But, expect to spend some time getting familiar with it.  The top/toolbar area has been substantially re-designed and looks much different than IE8.  The address box is now a combination address and search box.  There is no separate search box.

I agree with Soybean, I install the latest versions of everything on my machine, i like to keep it up to date. But i never use it. I use Firefox.

I have got Seamonkey, Opera, IE9, Chrome, Chromium, and IE9. but I only ever use Firefox for browsing. There are one or two sites that won't show correctly in Firefox so I have alternatives handy. The HTML editor in Seamonkey is a useful freebie.

Was that Firefox 4?  If so, I don't think you're going to like IE9 either.

      Harry, If it turns out to not be to your liking give Opera (11.11 i think is the latest version) a try. I use it as default with Firefox as backup. I really like it and it has a lot of neat features such as the "speed dial" function. truenorth

      I have ChromePlus as my default browser. But I do have FF4 on and IE9 on.

      If I have to use IE9 for whatever reason, at least I know it's the most secure version M$ can give me.

      Thank you everyone, i downloaded IE9 last night , and so far it look's easy enough to use.

      I'm going to play around with it but it look's like i'll stick with it.

      It seem's to be a lot quicker as well.
