IE9 Races for Fastest Browsers in the World Spot with Chrome, Firefox,

Thought this (final release) was supposed to be out in March?

IE supports addons since version 5.5. The most important thing I dont like about IE is the interface. I hope they will get it right this time.

Yeah, yeah :) I know that it supports add-ons but I just find Firefox more useful :P

First of all, thank you very much for the news JMH :)

Secondly, I am a huge fan of Microsoft. It is very obvious that Redmond Company has a lot of plans for 2009-2010 which started with Windows 7. I am quite interested in IE 9 but I do not think I will be switching to it as, for instance, IE does not support add-ons. Well, it may support some alternatives but it is not like in Firefox. Even Chrome is not that advanced. I love the speed of Chrome. But, is it really that important how fast a browser starts up? In my opinion, I would prefer a browser which does everything the way I want. Of course, this is what I think :)

Chrome does now have extensions and they are expanding daily. You can get many of the same addons for Firefox as extensions for Chrome. Firefox is a great browser and I used it for a long time and still do from time to time, but in my opinion Chrome has surpassed Firefox. I am hopeful that Firefox 4 will take the crown back, but it is a wait and see type thing.

Each and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i respect yours. I am no way bashing. I am just giving my opinion on the matter.

I understand man. I is very obvious that Google is doing an amazing job with Chrome. I actually used Chrome for a while because I wanted to switch to Chrome to be honest but I was not very satisfied with the add-ons they had. That is it :)

No! They announced IE9 Platform Preview in March. I hope I am not wrong :)

I don't really see why they couldn't just release a beta now. IE9 looks really decent enough now, that at least they could put a real address bar and make it usable for casual browsing. I think there might be heavy UI changes coming in IE9 and maybe Microsoft wants to keep it a secret?

After seeing the comments earlier re Firefox 4, whats the opinion of Mozilla Developer Preview 3.7 Alpha 5 (which is supposed to be an early release of FF4?? I'm using it at the moment and it does seem a little faster than 3.6.

Firefox has noscript and that is the best addon available. Chrome has a nice browser but the only option for blocking script is all or nothing. Plus I am using the add on FX4 for Firefox and it looks like 4.0 whicH I think is the best looking browser.

i think latest version of firefox is better.....:)
