    New name? Perhaps MetroBrowser or BrowserOne. I happen to like IE11 and will use IE no matter what they call it. Couldn't be any worse than Firefux or Chrum.
    How about "OneBrowser"? After all, they renamed skydrive to "onedrive"...

    Actually, IE 11 is quite good but some websites still won't play well with it so I had to go back to IE 10.
    I happen to agree. I also dont use ie 11 because since its really designed more for windows 8 and 8.1; the gadgets in windows 7 dont function correctly with it installed which is why im not gonna bother installing 11. I also happen to like the gadgets in 7 like the calendar, and clock and weather, etc and those would not display properly with 11 installed.

    Everyone here keeps saying this,

    Yet I have no problem with my gadgets and I have IE11.

    I am not sure what the problem you guys are having. ( I did read the thread in detail about it, but have not experienced it)

    I forgot tell that if they're changing its name they're also going to change its logo. I like the current IE icon, and I really wouldn't like it if the icon picture would be as bad as the name they're going to give it. Right now I'm hoping this doesn't go through.

    QFT.

    Personally, since I've tasted Firefox, I never went back to Internet Explorer except the few times where I can't access a website or try a website that doesn't load correctly.

    That they rename it or not, it will not make me care more than now.

I use Firefox. My wife uses IE. IE will start up...get white screen with busy notice as usual and just disappears. IE will not start. Firefox is fine. Cannot figure this. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
How do I permanently stop getting this warnings in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9: Not Enough Storage is a available to process command and also "Invalid Agrument"?
I've been using MSIE more or less exclusively for quite some time now, but since I've been using IE9 on Windows 7, I've been plagued by glitches that I've grown tired of dealing with. I'd like to keep using IE, since I like its functionality and find it the most aesthetically pleasing browser I've...
Can anyone tell me if MIE9 has reinstalled to progress bar yet? If not I'll continue to stick with 8. Yes I know chrome firefox etc are better, but I prefer IE.
