Version: Internet Explorer 8
Pros: Runs smooth, not over complicated, and you hardly have to install plug-ins. Good new features.
Cons: Not impessively fast and still lacks customizable features.

Summary: Simply stated: It doesn't work! read more

Version: Internet Explorer 8
"I have rarely used in the past 4 years"
Pros: Only use if I absolutely have to. Works OK.
Cons: Slow and crashes often. Some web sites don't seem to work well. Some settings don't work or are confusing. Not many real add-ons or extensions available.
Summary: I use Firefox almost exclusively. If I need to I use IE, I use the IE Tab extension in FF when a website must use IE. read more
