Well its hard to believe. After all the years of getting friends and family using Firefox, Opera, Chrome, anything other than IE for a browser... I like IE9.
Its fast, lots of nice touches, both graphical and practical. I like the controls on the url bar, the color coding of tabs and pages. The built in "security" and perfect integration with Windows 7 (my laptop is a dell dual core 2ghz w/ Win 7 and another partition for OSX)
I have latest FF, Chrome and IE and now i'm using IE all the time. Amazing...
All I hear is bloatware, bloatware and more bloatware.
Why would your browser need to look particularly sleek?
I never quite understood all that hype about good looking browser frontends, bloated websites and messy addons.
Perhaps it's because I'm a code monkey. Personally, I couldn't care less what webpages look like.
In fact, I wish they were less glossy since my bandwidth is currently capped at 385KBps (that's right. Less than an MBit)
Too bad Firefox crashes so often I had to stop using it.
Approximately 90% of Firefox' crashes indicate a problem with the plugin container. Something that shouldn't be too hard to fix.
