Internet Explorer 8 is here

[Und3ertak3r]

OK, excuse some ignorance on my part, but I haven't used Windows much in almost 2 years.... so WTF is Pron mode? I don't have IE8, so I'm interested.

Dunno.. always thought that it was when ever the wife was out of the room - so is it a fake SMS from a GF to get her out of the house for a while?

Looks like "pr0n mode" isn't so private.

"Forensic experts however found it trivial to retrieve the history, according to a test by Webwereld, an IDG affiliate in the Netherlands, and Fox IT, a Dutch firm specializing in IT security and forensic research."

I love it when all these security IT what ever's pop up and are quick to point out problems.

I mean it's still in "Beta" off course there's going to be something prown to go wrong.



I'm not taking a cheap shot at the quoted poster either .

Running Xp sp3.

Downloaded and isntalled, no problem.

It asked me to restart, I said later, double clicked on the icon on the desktop and it created a shotcut , wouldnt run, wierd

Restarted , launched it and threw out an error message.

Opened a second window and is running fine.

Hmm Which Mozilla browser? Are you talking of Firefox one of their other browsers? If it is FF3 that I had assumed it was, then it is not a good recommendation for reliable browser.

IF IE7 is hanging all the time you have a lot more problems there than just IE7.. especially if it has become a memory hog (it isn't perfect.. but it isn't that bad)

I use the ie7pro addon:
http://www.ie7pro.com/

It comes with a heap of addons, and you can even add more if needed.

And there are always new user scripts being added, not to mention it has an AdBlocking addon that can be used, kind of like AdBlock Plus and it's easy to find a good filter list that can be intergrated with it also.

I'd feel that I've somehow degraded myself by using Firefox. Honestly.

I've been using Firefox for a long time. I don't use ti much anymore because it seems to have gotten more and more sluggish on resources to the point I only use it for specific things.

I generally use either Seamonkey, Galeon, or something else like Dillo.

Hmmmm,

Which operating system and SP are we talking about here?

When an application becomes a memory hog it frequently indicates that you have some sort of conflict............. possibly with anti-malware, firewall, and AV applications? What are you running interactively?

Also, what hardware (mainly RAM and processor) are you using?

usually when i open microsoft site using ie7 it hang the whole system

this is not the case with firefox three
firefox also had a plenty of pluging which are not available in ie
