Quick question: What resolution you guys using IE9 on? 800x600?

Haha yeah no idea what they're talking about. IE9 is as clean as any other browser. It's now my primary browser for everyday use, I have no reason to use Chrome anymore.

Am I the only one who sees a similarity? Make Windows 3.1 24-bit colour and you have I.E.9 :shrug:

^ Seems to render fine in the 11.50 beta and also IE9. Speed isn't bad under Opera 11.01 either, imo, despite being software.

Weird, it does render fine in IE9 for me. It did not last Friday...

Also, good to know Opera 11.5 is adding GPU acceleration (I'm using Opera 11.01 as secondary browser)

haters will hate. i use firefox and ie9 both are fine. ie9 is slightly slower at loading stuff it seems but maybe thats me being crazy

I like 7 the most, anyone else?

Massive browser round up over at Tomshardware, and IE9 takes the lead :up:

Somewhat related. IE 9 on mobiles owns iphone and android.

ive been using for about a week now and i can say every time i open it i really am impressed... I use FF4 / IE8 @ work and IMHO IE9 takes the cake easy.

Some java doesn't work with it, ie the Asus Bios history selection on the asus webpage

Does IE9 support CSS3?

At this point I would say that all browsers have feature equality. Choice is mostly a matter of preference.

Main differences now is pretty much how each one handles HTML5.

Mozilla chose the WebM/Theora format for video, whereas Chrome chose X264 (Not sure about Opera).
IE9 seems to be sticking to confirmed features for HTML5 and not implementing those that are still experimental or not officially part of the standard, whereas FF4, Chrome and Opera have added many of them.

Also, if you want GPU acceleration for now your only choices are IE9 and FF4.

ie8 and slow xs forum browsing on my win7 ultimate and 9550 with 6gb ram low times.

ff4.0 on my asus eee 701 bios oc option at 900mhz kicks ass my main comp 4 timesfaster then my main that got ie 8!

i havent try ie 9. last iast wery bad for me.

Has anyone ran IE9 on 7/x64? I can't get it to let me run ActiveX on certain sites even though they are in Trusted Zone with full permission :( (no errors popup from IE, I just see the pages don't work). Worked always fine in IE6/7/8.
