35 per cent speed boost over the beta makes the ‘Beautiful’ browser look even better.

Downloaded and installed this last night, so far I'm impressed. Much better than IE8 but that isn't hard :)

I'm actually pretty impressed - it's fast and there's even more vertical space for webpages than Chrome. As soon as I can get a good adblocker for it and 1 or 2 other extensions it could even feasibly become my default browser... (love speed of chrome at moment & speed=king, firefox v reliable but sluggish recently)

Wonder if it supports hotmail ;)

Haha, what do you expect - its Microsoft! :rockon:

/EDIT

Disable any addons you have by executing .exe with -extoff switch.

figured it out, i told it to use hybrid nvidia on IE9 for hardware but that buggered it up, back on auto its fine.

I wonder if it no longer breaks GTA 4

i installed this yesterday, really surprised how good it is... easily trumps chrome in speed and looks IMO and since i slightly hate googles way of stealing all your data etc then IE wins :D.

Was always a Firefox man but it really has gone to slow,slow to start and slow to run in general and even at the latest beta it still is so im probably leaving it shortly. Opera was a second favourite but i could never use it as id always encounter a website that supports IE/Firefox only so i kept having to switch back, atleast IE9 competes!.

Well done MS id say.
