"Failure In Every Aspect"

Nothing at all

Slow, ugly design, a million toolbars, and slow (Yes, I said it twice. It really is that slow)

It's the dumbest browser that Microsoft ever thought of.Need I say more?

"My favourite browser since i bought my PC(with IE 6)"
Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros
Everything is very fast, its even faster than google chrome. User interface is great, adress bar is awesome - everything is well organised
Cons
Reputation - Many people have problem with IE because their windows is in terrible shape (and that's the reason why they start hating IE)
Summary
In my opinion IE is the best browser, i've been using it since version 6 and it has never dissapointed me.(sorry for bad English I am from Serbia)

"it's total crap"
Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros
let's see, during the few minutes it works before the message "internet explorer has stopped working" it does what you would expect from a browser
Cons
it stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working and stops working
Summary
it's complete crap, get the picture? Total waste of hard drive space, and my experience with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit so far isn't much better. I never had a problem with 32bit. Microsoft has gotten so dang fat and lazy they don't even try to make a product work right until they've sold millions of copies and people start to complain

"JUST RESET IT'S SETTINGS IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH 'IE'"
Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros
Internet explorer is a good browser with simple interface.
Cons
It seems to me that every program which I install wants to add something to internet explorer , and those toolbars and 'right click add-ons' are internet explorer's ''killers''. For me - everything which wants to add something permanently to my browser without asking is a malware ,and programs which does not warn you about those add-ons should not be installed .
Summary
Do reset to you're internet settings periodically , and you will have no trouble with it ...JUST GO TO - CONTROL PANEL - INTERNET OPTIONS - ADVANCED - RESET - and restart the browser after that,then you can change you're home page etc...
hello dograg,

I think that you should turn automatic updates on,maybe that makes problems with your IE,and uninstall all the ''system optimizers''-if you got any -except CC cleaner . And reset IE like I had explained in review. -
"Bad version.... keep your current IE version."
Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros
There are no pros.
Cons
They took away all of the comfort (what I was used to) and gave me a screen devoid of quick links. Additionally, videos don't load correctly, many of my work-based applications/websites crash or appear strange. PDFs load as if they're 8-bit. It's a really terrible version. I even had to move to chrome to submit this review. No wonder it's gotten such bad ratings.
I've gone to using Chrome exclusively when I was a pretty devout IE user.Summary
Just a bad version.

"Fast, Stable and Secure"
Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros
Fast, Stable and Secure
Cons
None that I can think of...
Summary
Great browser. Much better than IE 8. Much better than Chrome...
Chrome sucks... it is an over-hyped and over-rated system memory hog... and isn't as secure as many seem to think. Use a different browser. -
"keeps changing my settings"
Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros
seems faster than previous versions but ...
Cons
changes my home page to MSN on every restart even though I keep changing it back to my custominzed MyYahoo page; on every internet visit (that could be twenty plus times a day) it gives me a pop up asking me to manage my add-ons - have tried adding and taking away - but the useless screen pops up everytime, won't let me go back to a previous version just to get rid of this BS; keeps adding bing search and other similiar stuff, even though I won't use it. I'm moving to another browser
Summary
Question is - which browser, don't want to use Chrome for the same reasons I don't use Google, too much tracking so just don't trust them. Have tried Gozilla but its got problems too. So just as I've changed to DuckDuckGo search which gives me google plus others without the tracking, will use a browser that combines others
