    I tried it out for 5 mins. First, when i installed and restarted , All CPU metter wouldn't work and just blanked out. Than the interface was not impressive and i really didn't like it. Bye bye. I'll wait for a better version. All my problems were gone after uninstalling. This is a disappointment.. Chrome is way better and faster.

    Based on benchmarks that I ran and general performance, IE9 seems to be faster than Ff4b6 by a good amount.

    I think you may be right but in the end its personal preference since ya every browser has its features and UI ... etc... but its the way things load as well. I havent tried opera for a while but back when I did until the page was fully loaded it wasnt showing anything for me, I prefer to see things pop up.

    Well, IE will most likely never be "secure" in either a relative or absolute sense but it will dominate in marketshare as long as it's preloaded on every Windows PC - although the future is increasingly uncertain for the Windows brand. Looking back, the only reason I ever made the mistake of using IE was because it was preloaded.

    actualy IE is quite secure by desing just that more people have interest in finding flaws in it since it has a wider audience firefox is becoming more then more the target of attack any browser that is to popular will be targeted
