An improvement? have you seen so many big websites out there, INCLUDING phpBB!! that their forum software isn't displayed properly in IE8? IE8 is no way an improvement yet .

Well I have only used it briefly to view a couple of websites and have a nose at the new features - not really put it through its paces yet (if ever lol).

I like Firefox too much .

I'm using Safari right now and even though I said that Safari isn't good its alright I guess, been using it in past few days without problems... it has a Cookie Deletion feature which I kind of needed to test my new PHP scripts so that's why I have no problem with using Safari so far . Although, it has crashed a few times for me

I find Safari far too bloated on Windows. Have you ever used it on a Mac? - its like Firefox, with a bit less clunk, extremely reliable. The only problem is, seen as though some ignorant (or incompetant) webmasters deliberately design there website for IE (god knows why! - websites should be browser independant as much as possible!) it breaks a few sites. But then again, doesn't that make them not worth visiting in the first place?

I generally use IE7 for things. Although for the forums I'm using FF3 as IE keeps wanting me to run realplayer scheduler which when I deny it doesn't like. I should probably look into that one. Lol.
