IE10? lol this is a clear sign the IE9 is already a failure. What Microsoft needs to do to concertrate on allowing users to customized thier browser looks rather than forcing them to accept a butt ugly browser. I will not be upgrading to IE9 as long as it remains in its current rigid form factor. Improve perfomance and stop changing the dam UI for the hell of it... moving my dam favorites windows...you bastards.

I don't get how you arrived at that conclusion. If short development period is your measure of failure, then by that measure, all versions of Chrome are failures and even the upcoming versions of Firefox will be. Chrome and the latest Firefox are definitely not a failure.
 
@rajohn08:
I agree with razoerblade42 about the lack of customization (I disagree that it is a failure though, when it comes to performance IE9 >>>>> IE8).
Anyway, there's quite a few things I hate on the IE9 UI, like the position of the tabs, I liked those where they were in IE8, below the other bars (below the menu bar, below other custom bars like the google toolbar, in the same bar as the command bar).
Another thing is the command bar, I liked having the buttons on the right side, but with IE9 they're in the left side. There's a way to have them in the right side but that's only by having favourites bar active, which I want inactive. .___.

Well, some people just take any reason they can to complain. For every guy that'll complain about update intervals being too short, you've got another (or the same guy on a different day of the week) complaining the update intervals are too far apart.

Full disclaimer: Chrome user here.
 
I think it's so funny when people are personally offended by a web browser.

If you don't like IE9 or IE10, then don't use it. Go use the other free web browsers.

Why waste your time bitching and moaning about free web browsers? You have several choices.
 
IE9 still leaves the developers behind. IE9's dev tools are sub-par and almost unusable for any large scale project. MS clearly wants you to buy their dev suit to code HTML/JS/CSS. I can only hope IE10 will be more dev friendly... 🙁

When you work for a corporation that still forces IE6/7/8 on you, you don't have a choice and all you can do is vent.

What Mozilla needs to do to concertrate on allowing users to customized thier browser looks rather than forcing them to accept a butt ugly browser.

Strange how changing just a little makes you look ludicrous. . . did you read the article?

FF4 was just released and FF5 is already at second release and FF6 is in development
Chrome has 10, 11, and 12 in the works. . .

Oh well.

you know you can change where the tabs are and put them back in their normal spot just a heads up. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the other thing
 
[citation][nom]shanky887614[/nom]vista anyone? microsoft did the same thingie8 is good but not very fast when compared to the competition, and it is still better than ie9[/citation]
better than ie9 in what ways?
 
in a way ie9 it can be called a failure because they released it 'yesterday' and they already have another version made, so that means they are not happy with that and they are releasing another version.just like FF. and in another way it's not a total failure because it has improved some.

The fact that they are releasing another os also explains that they will be developing a brand new browser.
 
I do not use IE because it is not secure. I don't care if it is fast or not fast, that normally doesn't mean anything in day to day use.

I would think that MS would be in the best position of all browser writers to create a secure browser, but for some reason they don't care about security.

You're joking... How can you criticize IE9? You obviously didn't try it properly. You can put the tabs in the same position as in IE8, you know?
 
Wow. That's unbelievable. I actually had to load up Chrome to post on this forum?

Clearly that makes opinions here look obviously biased. Do you guys own stock in Chrome or something?

IE doesn't care about security? How come we get security updates all the time? How come enterprises are using it all over the place as their standard? Obviously there is a line to be drawn between compatibility and security...and I'm pretty sure they listen to the IT guys on what they need for their enterprises.
 
[citation][nom]edilee[/nom]FF4 still crashes my Nvidia vid card drivers with hardware acceleration on or off using the Download Helper add on...yes I sent a report to them and they said I was stupid is a very arrogant tone. Funny though how it only happens when I am using that add on...odd. I have also read this issue has been present in FF4 since beta but not sure if it was related to DH or not...still...you don't release known faulty product. Other than that FF4 is nice.[/citation]
What hardware are you using? I'm using an old 8600GT and it has never crashed on me due to hardware acceleration related issues.

Really? Can you also get rid of that huge ugly back button? or favorites to "permanently" default to the left side of the screen like IE8? Can you move the pop up notifications to the top of the screen instead of the bottom?

P.S. Dear Microsoft can you get the User Interface of IE8 and the performance improvements of IE9? That would really make me happy.
