Internet Explorer 8

**Dai Shi** · 03-17-2008, 04:43 PM

Normally I would not make such a thread. But this is gonna have to be different. As some may know, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is out now for public consumption. HOWEVER while the public can download it, it's not recommended to. IE 8 is now using compliant standards and has been numerously reported, is essentially breaking Vbulletin forums. Making everything look screwy. (Not sure about IPB or other forums yet at this point.)

While IE8 does have a mode you can switch to so that IE8 simulates IE7....as is usually the case with most beta software, it's recommended NOT to use it at this time. It is highly recommended not to start using it until its RC. (Release Candidate.)

So while it may be tempting to use IE8 (I know I have heard a lot of good things about it), it's highly recommended not to use it for actual daily use at this time.

Psh, I still refuse to use IE7. I hate all those tabs and crap I don't need cluttering up my browser. IE6 all the way.

Forget IE 6, 7 OR 8, Firefox & Flock FTW!

Firefox is too slow for me, and it has those stupid tabs I hate with a passion.

I will choose to take that as a compliment.

30+ tabs in Firefox Vs. 30+ Taskbar Buttons on my computer's taskbar... I'll take Firefox & it's tabs thanks! (I'm often running 20+ tabs per copy of Firefox open, and usually have 10+ copies of FF open at any one time... YOU do the math!)
