James wins


I remember finding a porn mag in a field in Stoke Poges when I was about 10 and bought my first Guns N Roses album on cassette.

I've been using chrome a lot recently, I like the Beta channel.

I use mostly IE9 and chrome with a bit of Opera thrown in.

IE9 is a massive step from previous versions.

I used Chrome for a good while until it became a complete pain in the arse with some sites.

IE causes me least hassle ergo wins.

Some websites, for example the Microsoft OEM Partner site, will ONLY work with IE.

Bloody Microsoft

Anyone else had a problem with IE9 and videos? If I have a Youtube video open and playing, then close that tab, the tab and video have gone, but the audio still plays for the duration of the video unless the instance of IE is closed.. :s

This thread has actually prompted me to try out the latest version of Chrome, as for some reason Firefox keeps freezing a few times a day - I can't tell whether this is the Hotmail website doing this, or some kind of bug in Firefox's javascript engine.

I must admit, I do like the speed of Chrome.

If you can't access a site in whatever browser you like, then it's not the fault of the browser. It's the fault of the developer. HTML and CSS all have strict engineering standards to abide to. Admittedly, Javascript is a bit more picky and CSS does often have a few propritery things in it but you can easily work around them. I don't understand why MS feel the need to make you use their own internal API's and ActiveX to do things when no other browser needs them.

Saying that, IE does scroll smoothly.

Does IE9 come up under Windows Update or do you need to download it separately?

Had to download it separately from:
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/

I'm sure it will be on the update list soon though.

My only grip is that the notification box appears at the bottom now. This is gonna confuse my dad to hell

Been using the Beta for months.

Don't know if its this site but replies don't always post on the first attempt. FaceBook crashes all the time too.
