Microsoft tests Internet Explorer 8

[LazyLion]

Firefox has become the worlds second biggest memory leak ever. Whilst a great browser, the code quality across three releases has suffered greatly.

IE, on the other hand actually seems to have improved. I'm a great FF fan, but lately I've been disappointed.

you think IE7 is an improvement?

over what? a pencil and paper?

IE7 crashes on me without fail... every single session.... when I start it up... it insists on loading whatever it thinks is the default page... you can click the cancel load button.. but it just sits there and says FU until it is finished doing its own thing... it takes ages to load the default page... much longer than FF. And then of course... there are those tabs in IE7... or what they tried to make into tabs. The entire interface is clunky and counter-intuitive and looks like crap. If MS want IE8 to keep market share... they have to make it sleek and stable... then allow for extensions like FF does.

I've been using IE7 now for quite a while, used FF and Opera as well, and I'm quite happy with IE7, I've never had any issues with regards IE7. But maybe I'm lucky.

Only problem i've picked up with IE7 is with regards to site certificates.
But that's about it.
