If it can match Chrome speeds, I MIGHT give it chance.

Every time I inadvertently open up IE9 I always notice right away how slow it is compared to Chrome. There's just no compelling reason to use IE.

All these hate for IE,
for your information, IE 9 is actually a better browser than Opera and Safari



I have a thing for red heads :p

Oh no wait, nevermind, Chrome steals your data and updates itself without your permission. Use Comodo Dragon, not Chrome, if you want a fast-ist webkit browser.

Everyone loves beating a dead horse (IE6-9)... I don't know if you guys have win8 installed yet, but I can tell you that IE10, is probably 2-3x faster than IE9. I have yet to see direct comparison with Chrome and FF, but I have a feeling the race just got tighter.

I for one don't care about speed. I care about compatibility. I care that Microsoft has been so slow to be 100% compliant with W3C standards, web programmers have to waste a ton of time writing exceptions for Microsoft's crap platform. If IE10 will display pages the same way Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc. do... I'm fine with it regardless of speed.

Yes the compability is big issue. I have many problems in work, because IE does not work correctly when rendering some pages and some funtionality does not work like adjusting the text boxes etc...

And in other parts of the world only IE is used as some websites do not load up properly on alternates, welcome to the wide world of more than the 20 or so websites that you personally browse

And there are some websites that will ONLY work with IE8 or lower...
