OMG IE8 B2 ROCKS!

I just upgraded and it looks AWESOME! No lag, at ALL, hasn't crashed like B1 yet, and the Tabs are COLOR-CODED by Website! This makes it easier to tell which Tabs are for what! W00T!

I switched from IE to Firefox because IE lagged like hell and was generally pretty slow.

Yeah Firefox can pretty much offer what IE can, but in Addon form.

guaranteed.

And Firefox doesn't support ActiveX Plugins(Important for many Webpages), IE8 is much Faster than IE7, though slightly slower than Firefox, Firefox does much better on the Acid3 Test, and Firefox doesn't support a few of the Websites that IE8 does. I think they're around equal. Firefox doesn't support some features of IE, and IE doesn't support some features of Firefox. They both have Flaws, but hopefully they'll be improved soon.

EDIT: Typo, I said many but meant a few.

Firefox does much better on the Acid3 Test, and Firefox doesn't support a few of the Websites that IE8 does. I think they're around equal.

Whole point of the Acid3 test is how well the browsers comply to Web Standards.

meaning, if Firefox can render a page that IE can't, Firefox is right, IE is wrong.

If IE can render a site that Firefox can't, the site is poorly built, or is one of the very few sites that IE can render better than Firefox. But it's still not really equal.

and this includes things like viruses and other malware just being able to automatically download themselves without you knowing as opposed to trying to trick you
