    I noticed that IE8 is the newest official internet browser by windows and was wondering who all made the switch. What are your opinions?

    Internet explorer BLOWS. Use Firefox / Opera / Chrome.

    And just in case anybody's wondering... yes, I have installed IE 8. It's worse than IE7. Slower, buggier, and more crash prone... wouldn't recommend the upgrade from IE7 even if you are one of those people who insists on using IE.

    Personally I use FF because I love all the extensions... but chrome is BLAZING fast. Hands down the fast browser... except maybe for FF 3.1, but that's still in beta. Opera is nice to, but I never really got into it...

    EDIT: This is just my opinion... and you don't have to follow it. I do realize that most of the world still uses IE... but I think that's mostly because they don't realize they have a choice!! (or just don't care enough...)

    My default is FireFox, and I also have Chrome. I love chrome's speed however I'm not a fan of the way the bookmarks are and that you can't save all open tabs as a folder. If you could, I'd be using Chrome. And yeah FireFox has some awsoeme add ons.

    I thought I should add that the last IE I actually liked a lot was IE6.

    Use Chrome. Can't beat the minimalist experience.

    Are you able to save all open tabs as a folder in Chrome?
