Had trouble with IE7 crashing every hour in the past few weeks so dowloaded the IE8 beta with no problems what so ever.

I don't know what IE 8 is like, but apparently many folks stepped back to IE 6 after experiencing problems with IE 7... Wink

Members experiences earlier in the forum, and one of my Lads personal experiences in his IT job, they all went back to IE 6 after trying out IE7.

Me....Using Mozilla Firefox, I have stayed with IE 6 as a standby.

Happily on Firefox.

I don't know what is causing the issue, but the Google on IE8 has completely failed. If you search with Google (toolbar, or website) then IE will crash straight away. I don't know why, but it is terrible.... So I shall stick with Firefox 2 for now.

Opera & IE7... I just am too lazy to uninstall IE7 'cause IE6 is far better. Grin

It also depends on which browser my ISP wants to use... Safari almost always works and opera is ok. Firefox sometimes works and IE7 only at night. Grin

Luckily we have a new ISP and I can uninstall opera and Safari. But I run firefox every now and then.
