anyone decided to actually beta test this? I have a strange feeling it's full of bugs just like 7.

 

GUI looks nice though

IE Sucks.

 

I'm sticking with FF.

Lies IE rules. Though firefox is an alright backup.

IE8 is actually pretty good. I might switch back after the final release.

Speed: IE8>Chrome>Opera>FF3=Safari

Memory: Chrome>Opera=IE8>FF3>Safari

 

Other than that IE is usually the most stable because programmers usually code for IE first. Each browser requires customizing to get the most out of it. Use what you prefer, but don't give up on a browser because you failed to tweak it to your preferences.

 

I currently use FF3 and hated it compared to FF2, but I tweaked it to where I enjoy it. Chrome is way too beta and the lack of plugins for it at the moment make it unattractive for me right now, but I'll probably jump on it's final release. It took me a while, but I got Opera to work to my liking and I've been meaning to switch, but haven't broken the habit of opening FireFox. I still use IE when FF has media trouble. Safari was short lived on my PC. It uses too much RAM for a browser. Not that I don't have enough RAM, but it's the principle that counts. It shouldn't be using so much on a web page.

 

Use what you prefer.
