Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 out now.

[JonB]

I hear yawns already.

However pleasantly surprised as the speed of it. Although apparently it is quite slow on XP, but on Vista flies.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma, only 2 weeks ago I moved from Firefox to Google Chrome, which may I add is brilliant. However IE8 actually seems really good. Never thought i'd think that but hey.

Been getting prompts for it for about three weeks now, still haven't updated it yet as it may slow XP so I'm told so I'm in two minds about it...

I used mozilla for years before i finally swapped to firefox. It'll take a lot to get me to change again and having looked at ie8 all I see is a still poor user interface with a few more points stolen from firefox. If ie actually come up with something innovative then I might care but for now ie will still be that useless bit of software I have clinging onto my hard drive.

Tried IE8 under XP ProSP3 and it seems damn slow compared to IE7.

I'd stick with Firefox

Google Chrome just scored 79/100 on that Acid3 test.

Firefox 3 scored 71/100

Internet Explorer 8, scored 20. Nice. I love how it has a big fat FAIL written in the top left as well.

Think i'm gonna stick with Chrome.

I love how even the safari browser on my Ipod manages to score 74/100.

Google Chrome 2.0 Beta here, scores 100 on the acid test, great browser

[ncrn]

Wow just tried the acid test in IE and got the image I've attached..

Firefox only gets 71, is it just not up to task or could it be something my end holding it back?

+1 for google chrome
so simple and fast with a nice big browsing screen.
sure there are a few bugs, for instance when typing this message when you delete some stuff it doesn't dissapear it stays there until you start typing over it or highlight it. anyone else have this problem?
the add-ons have started appearing although i'm sure they are not official or approved
