"Very irritating"
Pros
Right now I'm ready to rollback to IE7
Cons
Nag, nag, nag
Summary
This browser is making me irritable, even crazy. Everytime I start it up I get the Welcome To IE8 screen like a nag, with no option to "Don't show this again." It is constantly nagging me to turn on autocomplete or to remember a password/username. This creates bunches of additional clicks. The tabbed browsing is complicated and I often wind up offline again. The problem is, I've tried Firefox and Opera...they're no better. Will anyone ever create a simple, fast browser that doesn't forget everything the moment you go offline? And one that won't nag and nag and nag?
I gotta add this. Man, oh man, this browser is crap.
