Should I upgrade to IE8?

I want to smell dark matter
I'm asking here since everyone probably upgraded six months ago (and Menty six years ago) so you'd all know the benefits LOL JUST USE FIREFOX AT ALL TIMES YOU FOOL.
 
Yes. Upgrade to IE 8. I did and all the new features are awesome.

(Not really. About the same as IE 7)
 
do it, but use firefox anyway.
 
I use both depending on the time of the day, mood, sexual arousal and other factors.
 
do you use it to determine the length of your e-peen?
 
I look at my recent karma comments for that.
 
I have to keep 7 on my work machine, so that we can test things in the older environment (or maybe IT is just lazy I don't know). I haven't bothered on my laptop because I believe every single MS upgrade from now on is engineered to SPY ON YOUR COMPUTER SOME MORE.

I really only use it when I need to POST AS TWO DUALS AT ONCE :shock:
 
I upgraded whenever it came out and told me to. I hardly ever use IE8, but it seems about the same as IE7 with a few extras like "suggested sites" which I've never used. I don't need my browser suggesting sites, I spend enough time at the sites I suggest!

As far as spying on your computer goes, I think Google is the biggest culprit of that. They think privacy is passe, THE BASTARDS.
 
Has anything bad ever happened to anyone because of spying? Or is there just some google nerd somewhere wanking over my search strings?
 
It's all used for advertising, and wanking.
 
It's not about hackers. I'm talking about huge corporations (and ISPs) having access to your non-browsing computer life. The only thinkg that is thier business is what you choose to share about your surfing. It feels as if they are taking away our ability to set our own privacy levels without telling us.
 
Ghostery+Noscript+ABP+BetterPrivacy+TOR

That's my privacy combo. Makes everyday browsing much more secure and less intrusive.

I use Firefox almost exclusively. I do have IE8 since it comes with Windows 7 and I have no doubt that it is an improvement on IE7 which itself was a super huge dramatic improvement over the shite that was IE6.

From what I saw of IE8 it's basically the same as IE7 with a few tweaks and performance hikes. As much as I love Firefox I do find it slower than all the other major browsers. If I need to view a page in IE though I'll just change the rendering engine within Firefox instead of firing up IE8. And if I want to load tons of pages and do something that requires a lot of back and forth browsing I use Opera since its quicker than both Firefox and IE.

So yeah...upgrade I guess!
 
Firefox always seems so much faster than IE to me. lol.. everything is pretty slow ANYWAY.
 
IE8 is actually faster than Firefox I find (probably because of the multiple core supporting better page rendering)

Still using the red FF tho
 
I WILL WEIGH UP THE PROS AND COONS
 
I will steal your internet information and use it to build a marketing campaing for Kraft cheese strings targeted at Dr Dave.
