Viewer location privacy sounds interesting. I keep getting ads for local stuff on web pages that I visit that have nothing to do with the information I am seeking.

google chrome does the same thing for some apps

I have had some issues with IE9 for certain apps and the compatibilty mode seems to work well. It looks like a broken link just right of the address bar. Just click it and see if that solves your issue with GTA.

I don't like the beta. I hope the rc is much nicer... or i might actually switch browsers.

I downloaded it, used it about 5 times, went "oh cool", and then back to chrome I went with my trusty adblocker. When this full version finally comes out, my reaction will probably be the same.
As for the GTA problem it's funny that you guys mention that because I've been having the same problems and had no idea why. I have to press the launch button in steam about a million times for it to start.

Same thing happened to me. After IE9 installed it won't launch at all. Did a system restore to before IE9 installed and now GTA launches.

WTF?

Who the hell gives a single shit about Internet Explorer? It sucks. Seriously. Now go remove it from your computer and install a real browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.

True, it did suck. But IE 9 is a huge improvement, on par with Firefox 4.0 speedwise. It's a really nice browser, but the lack of synchronization and ad blocking make it a no no for me.

i'd probably download the final release, install it and use it only if microsoft site forces me to use it. otherwise, Firefox, Opera, Chrome will do just fine.

Well one thing I can be sure of..I'll be coming to this site to read the reviews, benchmarks etc Only then will I make a choice as to whether or not it's worth it. I've been using Opera a lot over the last couple of years and really like it. I run Opera and IE8 under XP with no probs; I've yet to encounter one single conflict, which is more than can be said for certain video-hosting site..yeah, you know..the one that seems to crawl a lot of the time no matter what browser you run it under.

 

[dingo_d]

Any browser without adblock is a no go for me... Plus I really cannot find a decent browser that can match Chromes speed...

 

[carlhenry]

the back button still looks ripped and cut. a minor annoyance for me...

 

[eddieroolz]

It feels like it's been forever since the beta launch, but finally a RC build. Hopefully it will resolve some of the hangs I've been having lately.

WTF?

its a BETA what do you expect?

 

[mayankleoboy1]

seriously, they contributed a lot to the popularity of ff.
adblockplus FTW

Someone does not know how to look in IE9 options for popup blocks. I just looked and it does have it and exactly same kind of thing in Firefox 4 beta. Learn stuff before you speak.
