Today Microsoft Corp. announced the availability of Windows Internet Explorer 8, the new Web browser that offers the best solution for how people use the Web today. It can be downloaded in 25 languages at Windows Internet Explorer 8: Home page starting at noon EDT on March 19. Internet Explorer 8 is easier to use, faster and offers leading-edge security features in direct response to people's increasing concerns about online safety. A new study commissioned by Microsoft and the National Cyber Security Alliance and conducted by Harris Interactive Inc. shows that 91 percent of adults in the U.S. are concerned about online threats in the current economic climate, and 78 percent are more likely to choose a Web browser with built-in security than they were two years ago.

"Customers have made clear what they want in a Web browser -- safety, speed and greater ease of use," said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. "With Internet Explorer 8, we are delivering a browser that gets people to the information they need, fast, and provides protection that no other browser can match."

I've toyed with this for a bit and I find it a bigger improvement over IE7 in loading times and recouse usage. This new compatability mode is pretty nifty too, and you can now delete your viewed webpage history from the address bar drop down instead of deleting the whole history. I like it.

i can delete history from the history tab without deleting the whole thing

firefox > all

Opera > Firefox

bs

Firefox is slow and not quite lightweight.

After using IE8, Firefox, Netscape, Google Chrome, Apple's Safari, and Opera.. Opera is definitely the most stable and easiest to use thank you.

firefox 2 has served me quite well

firefox3 can suck a dick tho

didn't care for opera, never bothered with chrome since i heard it was garbage, and have hated IE since I discovered firefox, like 5-6 years ago.

well IE has and will always be total shit. I used to love me some firefox love, but its sooo slow with facebook and other javabased webshits
