Thumbs down Internet Explorer 9

I know a lot of members here use FireFox or Chrome to surf the net. Lucky you!

I'm one of the suckers still using Internet Exploder. So yesterday I upgraded to Internet Explorer 9 as part of a bunch of other software updates for my computer. For those who haven't "upgraded" to IE9 yet........

DON'T!!!!!

I've been having nothing but connection problems since. I spoke with someone else who noticed the same problem. IE9 sucks! I have to copy and paste every one of my posts. Since I don't know if they're going to work on the first try or not.

I'm not telling you to pick one specific internet browser. If you use IE8 or older, keep it.

So on to you. Which browser do you use? Have you had problems with it?

I use Firefox, I got it to come up by default when an app ask for a browser. I can't stand MS IE's, any of them. I think it's because bill gates owes me money and won't pay up. (Maybe that's why he's so rich)

He owes me at least 20 bucks for forwarding that stupid email of his.

Don't know if I can. MicroSquishy likes to make it hard to downgrade.

On my Mac I think Google Chrome runs better, handles all of my fonts better it seems.

On my PC I still run Firefox because of the adblock+ and my spybot S&D integrates with it.

Hello `Lou & Member's using IE9.
I tried to go back to IE8 & I could not, so I reloaded IE9 &
it's working better 4 Some reason ?
I will have to do more research. I do like Microsolf Essentials & it blocks/catches a lot of bad stuff, plus it lets me check bad sites links, before I post this on the forum.
GooD Luck

Thanks for the info link Space. I think I found my problem in the product review.

`Lou, I'm glad that the link helped.
What I don't like is when I compose a new post/thread & submit, it takes a long time for it to load & view
It scans my submissions for viruses etc b-4 my post will appear : ( I guess that the price for safety

I hope that you can get yours working...Good LUCK
