Thumbs down Why is IE8 Soooooooo Awful???????

Hi gang,

Can anyone tell me why it is that, every single time I attempt to use Internet Explorer 8, it crashes! It opens very very slowly having double-clicked on the icon, I type in a search and within seconds of doing so I get a "Not Responding". Then I have to reset, restart, go into Safe Mode and restart.

Fortunately I have done the sensible thing and adopted Google Chrome as my default browser and have had no problems at all. It is a MUCH MUCH easier browser to use and, does not - unlike Internet Explorer - bombard you with endless updates . I recommend it to every PC user.

And finally, is it safe to remove Internet Explorer?

Thanks in advance
Chris

YOU MUST BE JOKING!! Never use beta software [Rule of thumb] Microsoft usually take at least a year to make software a stable option.

Thanks for your reply anyway,
Chris
