Just wandering if anyone here uses IE9 for day to day browsing? I've been trying to use it to surf around the web for about a week now and so far, it's been pretty good. Pages almost load up immediately (the ads load fast too :(). Been watching videos on YouTube and it's fast.

The only downside I've had so far is that after logging onto Google Wave, I just get a blank screen, nothing appears. Other than that, I feel it would be easy to convert someone to an IE9 user the way things are looking. Anyone else here tried using IE9 for daily browsing?

Posting this from IE9,

It might work, but the userinterface is unusable for me at this point. Soon they will release another build and hopefully that one will contain a UI.

I've been using it for awhile now too and I really like it.
Sometimes I'll visit a page and the links would be all out of place, so I'd have to delete all temp files and close. Sometimes pressing Enter to log into websites just goes "dink" and refuses unless I press ctrl+enter, not sure if that's how it is suppose to be...
And sometimes I'll browse with multiple tabs successfully, then later only two or one tab will work... more tabs would stay blank. other than that.. I dig.

The current Beta release of IE9 is working well for me, and apart from not being able to directly open a Favorite into a new tab without right-clicking and selecting from the menu, I have no problems at all. I cannot comment about earlier incarnations because this is the first that I've used. Now, if this feature is restored in the final release, it would be perfect.

IE9 launched with a new and impressive GUI. But, as MS does it, they messed it up with the "Tab bar" and the "Address bar", by putting them in the same line[Well, opinions].

A major thing i liked was a download manager they included which was much awaited.
But, here also, they wont display the speeds.!?!

As to this i reverted back to Google Chrome.[With a self-made theme. :D <3 it]

Same. I have used it since launch as my main browser and only to only have a few instances of pages not loading properly is pretty good imo for a beta. And something you would expect.

Personally it has been far more stable as a beta than Firefox 4 has been for me which I used more before IE9 release.

Been using 64bit IE 9 since launch, very happy with it. 1 or 2 minor glitches with certain sites, corrected by using the Compatibility View.

Have installed both relesases of Adobe Square Flash - no issues here either.
