IE9 Runner-up to IE8 as Top Browsers on Windows 7 Worldwide

The main reason I went back to IE8 after upgrading to IE9 is because some smartass at MS decided to remove the Search Engine bar. That bar is so useful when I'm not sure if I typed a word correctly.

But... the search bar is integrated with the adress bar, just type in whatever you want to look for, it will process your query as the old search bar did before

BTW, I also use IE9... not tat often as I do with Firefox (which is getting bulkier with every version...), but IE9 is really good, fast and safe... my only complain should be the lack of complements, lke the AdBlock Plus for firefox, it could be a great addition for IE9, tat could even make me switch to IE9 completely.

Problem is, it doesn't have a drop down box like the old search bar. Searching on Google for example, if I wanted to know if I spelled Mississippi correctly there would be a drop down box as I type, that is not available with IE9

I can't see the sense in running more than one browser and I'm more than happy with IE9.

Mind you, it's bound to come top of the pile, if only for the fact that Microsoft has the lion's share of the market and most Windows users have been using Internet Explorer from getting their first computer.

Hi there
Sometimes and it's only very rarely a website doesn't render well with one browser but works with another -this is often due to problems with the site rather than the browser per se.

I agree 99% of the time it doesn't seem to make any sense in using more than one browser --except during testing phases to see which one you like or you want the tiniest one you can find for s "stripped down" version of R7 --Opera is good for this purpose.

BTW not sure what you mean --IE10 has both a drop down for the address bar and a search engine bar where you can type your questions --so unless I've mis-understood something --

Note I'm using IE10 in the "non invasive" i.e in the classical nom metro_UI mode.

yes, search bing for "google chrome spys on you" and see what you get...

OK, I will. Does this mean I should only use ie9 ?

I like ie9 too but got used with Chrome. My wife uses only IE8.
