AR Husker Fan Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You might want to check out THIS REVIEW. My feeling is that if this had been released by anybody other than Google, it wouldn't have a chance... Quote Link to comment

As the article noted, in almost every test IE 8 used less memory and rendered as fast or faster. And IE 8 in native mode is virtually 100% web compliant. Enough so that they put in a "IE 7" compatibility mode. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've been rocking Internet Explorer forever. I don't see any reason to change, it gets the job done. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The thing about chrome isn't supposed to be speed or low resource usage. It's supposed to be robust. And of course it's not polished; it's another Google beta, what did you expect? It doesn't strike me as a particularly in-depth, knowledgeable, or scientific review. Â By the way, CSS hacks won't go away any time soon. It's not as if Firefox is completely standards compliant. And IE8 is not here yet...even when it gets here, IE7 won't go away for a while. Â As for as "using web standards", all it is is Google is using the Konquerer/Safari rendering engine (the Mozilla family uses the Gecko engine), which if I'm not mistaken was the first to pass the acid2 test.

huskersc Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Firefox is what I've been using for years. Somehow I don't feel comfortable with Google and their ability to spy on my browsing history. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ^ fair point, but I bet you still use Google. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I've been rocking Internet Explorer forever. I don't see any reason to change, it gets the job done. It does have the most security issues, and have much, much more spyware/malware/virus/trojans that effect or exploit it. Quote Link to comment
