Well IE8 has been out for a while, its faster then IE7, and conforms better to web design standards. It also has improved security. I think webdevelopers world wide would be very grateful if everyone that wont switch to firefox, chrome or safari will at least upgrade to IE8... lol

Having said that, i completely agree with Rosie. Firefox and Chrome are much better.

Personally i prefer Chrome's no-nonsense approach. Theres literally nothing you can clutter about your browser! No bloatware plugins, no toolbars, no pop-ups, it even warns me when i'm about to enter a website that contains potentially harmful content.

And if your browser does get slow, you can open the process manager and see which tab is creating the overhead of memory bloat and just close that one tab to solve the problem, rather then restarting your whole browser.

Also, if one tab crashes, the rest of your browser tabs still keep running, unlike IE.

And if you put it in porno mode, chrome wont use the browser to index your surfing behaviour either.

Then ofcourse there's the part where chrome is just plain faster (many, many times faster then IE8, and even more many times faster then IE7) and supports several web technologies that microsoft refuses to support, such as the canvas element, some css3 standards, svg, and html5.

The adress bar in Chrome is ultimately handy as well, as the suggestions include recently visited sites, recently typed searches, if you dont type a web adress but just keywords, and presse enter, it'll use your typing as keywords for a search engine of your choise.

You can even choose to search on specific sites. For instance, if i want to search for pixar on youtube, i'd type "youtube.com", press tab, and then type "pixar" and Chrome will immediately run your search for "pixar" on youtube.com's search engine, and give you the youtube search results page as answer.

Also, unlike IE, Chrome updates silently and invisibly in the background, so you'll allways get the latest security updates without even having to think about it, unlike Microsofts policy where, if a big security leak is released one day after patch tuesday (which happens frequently) you'll be vulnerable for at least a month untill microsoft releases a patch.

Once you're used to it, anything else just feels feeble and lacking functionality.
