    IE 8

    I downloaded it yesterday. They say it's faster, I guess it is faster but it doesn't seem to be a huge difference to me. There are several new features that you may like. I like the Accelerators, it eliminates the need of a task that TLH has mastered, cut and paste. I haven't tried it yet but there's an InPrivate feature that will delete where you have been online. Microsoft says you can use it if you want to shop for someone without them knowing. I'm sure people will find other uses for that feature.

    You can check it outor downlaod it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/int...r/default.aspx

    IE8 > IE7 imho. I don't install the accelerators or any of that extra rubbish.

    I do use Firefox primarily and have Opera on hand also, but IE8 (sans the rubbish) has been actually quite usable.

    I have opera on my phone, I didn't realize there was a version for laptop/desktop. I seldom use Firefox anymore because it seems way too slow and I always had cookie issues with it.

    I use Firefox2, Firefox3, IE6, IE7 and Chrome

    All for testing changes I make to attempt to keep things workoing on TWF for all

    FF3 remains my default, although I use Maxathon (which just encapsulates IE, but adds in some extra features) and Chrome often also. IE is only for testing/last resort ....
