IE9 confirmed for March 2010

[MattRainier]

I like IE8, it's good enough - so if IE9 is better, I may actually start using IE on a regular basis. For now, though, I've never found anything to meet the stability + security of FireFox 3.6.

LOL IE9 coming out, lets see what big change its going to have, I'll be surprised if it does improve significantly, but I plan to stick to FireFox since its perfect

Despite the fact that I'm sure that some would disagree, there is no question as to who has put it to it's best use and potential...Opera.

Check again. Opera 10.50 is now final.

enough already! :sarc:

Go debate Opera > whatever in another thread, this one is about IE9.

Why, can't you tolerate a normal discussion? I'm not the only one that has brought up browsers other than IE...and with good reason.

The way your comments are written just invite trolling/fanboyism.

Its OT, not related with IE9, so do it in another thread.

I like the speed of FF and the addons. I also very much like the the built in spell checker. It works great for forums. I am on a guest machine using IE 8 at the moment and I miss the spell checker. I will definitely try IE 9; but I will probably remain with FF.

I have found that (not spam) Google Chrome and Opera are much faster than FF.
Chrome has the same spell check capability.

Have you tried either recently?

I have not tried Chrome recently. I do need to try it again. However, with addons, especially NoScrpt, Ad Block+, and IE Tab, I have FF running just the way I like it and running smoothly. I am running v 3.6.

Maybe all you people whining how IE is full of bugs and praising firefox etc should read something like this, dont worry, if you dont understand what those events are and who he is, maybe just dont raise your voice next time

For me, FF is the best balance of all: usability, extensions, speed, etc.

I think Chrome beats any browser in speed though.

features are one thing, but most of "IE haters" are complaining about bugs and security, while they just dont get that simply IE bugs are more publicized since most people are using IE.

While I rarely use IE. I agree with you. Further, there are more exploits against IE because it is the most widely used browser. If FF was more widely used, there would no doubt be more exploits against it.

The article you linked was an interesting read. However, many legitimate sites, particularly manufacturer's are almost completely flash and some of these sites I visit regularly. I depend on NoScript to keep me out of trouble with flash. If I don't need to run flash to find what I am looking for, I don't enable it.

Thanks SoLoR.

if its a browser war discussion my views are.

chrome - not tried.
FF - is great for blocking ads, plugins useful. However has weird bug where it stutters.
opera - is slow at loading pages not cached, pages that are cached are insanely fast, ad blocking not as good as ff, good cookie management system.
IE8 - got some kind of resources/memory leak, it slows down when running for a while and memory usage goes up whilst idle (also occurs in no addons mode), sometimes back/forward buttons stop working. hard to get good ad blocking working on it, at the moment using simple adblock but its missing ads blocked in ff on same block lists. Browsing however overall beats FF for speed, and it beats opera on uncached page speed. Alot of these problems mentioned did not occur when I ran IE8 in windows XP which is a surprise.

chrysalis,

when you compared Opera's performance with the other browsers, was that today? 10.50 was just released, and it is quite different than before. The only thing that I've found slow about it, is that at times, it pauses before it even starts to load a page, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether the page is cached or not, nor is it a consistent trait. Once the page does begin to load, it is done in a flash. I do not know if this would be the general behavior, or something just in my installation or hardware?

gotta admit I'm really looking forward to IE9 - apart from the fact that I have always used IE, and have never considered using any other browser..

it promises to be even more closely (- and cleverly!) integrated into the Windows OS, and especially into Windows Seven..

from what I hear it will make much more use of a system's graphics capabilities, and that really will be an innovation..

- can't wait...

IE9 isn't going to be released in March...I thought November was the plan (at IPX?).

There wont be released in march, there will be preview on MIX and i guess we might get some beta (technology preview) at this point. Everything more are illusions.... IE9 is far from finished.
