Anyone using the new Internet Explorer 8? I saw an advertisement about it when I am reading my email in hotmail. The internet explorer 8 seems great. Anyone has experienced it?

Nice to know that, but have you experienced yourself about Internet Explorer till now? and have you compared it with other browsers like Mozilla, Chrome, and others?? Yes, I can say that its a bit faster then Internet Explorer 7. But when it comes to Chrome, I'll definitely go with Chrome, then Mozilla, then Internet Explorer 8. Also, their are some complicated features in IE 8, which often creates problems in surfing, may be that's not a problem for others, but I often feel disturbed in surfing due to those special features.

I agree. I think Firefox beats Internet Explorer, but Chrome beats all the rest!

Hi, You are right. I tried Internet Explorer a lot of times from the old version to the new version. It always give me not very good experience. So, I am using Firefox now. Anyway, I would like to try out the IE 8, maybe it is better now.

I tried Chrome but I do not like it. I am not sure why I don't like it. I prefer Firefox.

I was considering it before but, when I looked for more information regarding the updated browser, it seemed that my specs weren't okay for the upgrade so I still use IE 7 up to now.. I don't know if its faster or safer but, it should be since I seem to have no problem with IE 7 at the moment (^_^ )

Most of the short cut keys for IE 7 and Firefox are identical so I really don't get confused when I use the computer at work which happens to use Firefox as its main net browser.. I might use IE 8 when we finally get higher specs than what we have.. not really what you call a loyal user but, I just don't want to install some things in the computer when there is already one similar application that does the same thing. So far, IE 7 hasn't failed me compared to the Firefox at work which has a problem displaying images while the IE 6 there could conveniently show them..

You are using IE 7. I am not using it because I get used to Firefox. I might try the IE 8 to see if there are new features.

I have IE 8 installed in my system but i rarely used it i don't really trust IE anymore maybe because of past problems that i have experience using Internet Explorer, i just use IE in some sites that Firefox have problem opening but that's also rare. :D

I always use Firefox because a lot of people are saying that IE are vulnerable to viruses.
