Microsoft Keeps Beating a Dead Browser

This is why I don't read stupid magazines like PC World, PCMag and Maximum PC. Nobody buys those magazines and they are half filled with ads. The rest is opinionated garbage like the article here.
Tell us how you really feel, Jon. 
I haven't used IE for a number of years, but I will probably try it again soon. For me, Firefox is becoming 'kludgy' with all it's plugins and Chrome is like sitting in a metal chair when there is a sofa available - boring. I haven't tried 'World' yet, so who knows...

I resisted FF for years, installed it about 3 months ago and it's sluggish on my desktop, netbook and Macbook Pro. If IE was more secure and less susceptible to spyware and malware, it would be king. I use IE as my main browser, but use Chrome from time to time.

You claim that Firefox is sluggish on every PC you own, but you're claiming IE could be king? Can I start laughing now?

i use opera and its much faster than firefox and it seems "lighter" (don't know how else to describe)
also its very easy to customize and get skins for. as for chrome, i didn't like how it was set up, but that was faster than firefox too. IE 8 is getting better i think it will surpass FF fairly soon.

I agree. The current Firefox 3.6 is disturbingly fast. Maybe it's his internet connection?

IE 8, Chrome, and Opera 9.64 seem to do the job here ok. I prefer the setttings in Opera while Chrome simply swapped sides of the screen for the bookmarks section there just to be different from IE. I haven't looked at the fruit vendor lately to see what So Far off eeeeeeee does!
Why haven't you upgraded to Opera 10.10?
