Hooray for a slightly-improved UI! Our conference rooms just got IE8, so I put the stop/reload buttons back. Still can't move everything around as freely as IE3-IE6, command bar buttons are hidden when the toolbars are locked, and the stop button still looks a lot like a close-window button; but at least it's a step in the right direction.

You are clearly mistaken Graham. IE 8 is a memory hog. I’ve tested the loading times myself, and IE 8 comes third to Chrome and Firefox when loading Facebook. If you think Mozilla are out of the game, then you should take a look at the difference in their market share ever since they released version 2. What are your own opinions don’t really match the ones of the general public at all.

oh and as for compatability, all new browsers are having the same problems, because the internet is evolving. Soon enough, these webpages that aren’t displaying correctly will be obsolete. purely because these new format standards are loads faster and secure.

One of the other browsers I am referring to is of course Chrome Beta.

Whoever uses firefox these days needs a reality check – nearly everybody I know has gone away from firefox because mozilla are fast making all the mistakes that microsoft made – over-developing a perfect program.

Firefox 1.5 was perfect then they released 2.0 (big mistake) which lagged the system to hell and pages loaded slower the longer you used it. Then came FF3 – different GUI than earlier versions, and no improvements on resource hogging.

I then tried Safari – much better than Firefox speed-wise but still not very good.

Then tried Google Chrome Beta and Flock (Netscape Navigator’s Successor) and am perfectly happy with the two browsers on all sites but one

For this one site (FACEBOOK), Microsoft have made the biggest leap, as IE8 is now the browser which loads pages fastest and is second best when it comes to system resources, Google Chrome being #1

This rate, Microsoft and Google are going to be at loggerheads – Mozilla are already out of the picture with their lame new versions that are exactly as frustrating as previous versions.

That is because those tabs were opened by one same page i.e. Google. Its part of colored-tabs functionality in IE.

Interesting observation – when I search for something I right click on the links in the search results page and open them in a new tab. All the tabs are the same color even though they are from different sites.
