    Switching from firefox to chrome was a doddle, things were easy to find and a lot of the shortcuts were very similar. Whenever i go on a computer that only has IE installed i still feel the hairs stand up on my neck. Its just awkward and frustrating to use, especially on a small screen.

    They are all slows and unstable. This is inevitable, given the sort of garbage they are trying to support (Flash, bad HTML, bad javascript, etc.). I'm sure the Google guys thought to themselves "How hard can it be? It's just a browser!" but they have failed as badly as the others.

    Have a citation for that?

    Vulnerability is entertaining because IE is one of the better at Pwn2Own, whilst chrome is ace too.
    But speed, it depends. In some benchmarks IE is faster, in others Chrome. From an end user point of view is there any real noticable difference? Probably not.

    However I find that IE not having a simple click to flash block tool, whilst not having a full width URL bar drives me nuts.

    He said 'Fact'. That means all future arguments are rendered null and void. Fact.

    Doubt you've used it. 10 is considerably leaner and faster than FireFox. Sadly I just hate the UI. I want a full URL bar damnit.
    And a progress bar! i miss that so much, all i want to know is that IE is doing something

    Even if Internet Explorer sucks less now, I will be sticking with Opera and especially Firefox. They just give me more of what I want. Sucking less doesn't simply erase past deeds either.
