Internet Explorer 8 (XP, Vista) 8
Microsoft gets back on track with a promising web browser
Internet Explorer 8 is Microsoft's incredibly popular web browser. Almost everyone has used some version of it, and you can be sure all websites will support it.
This is an awesome browser.. I'm using Windows XP with Internet Explorer 8 installed. I use ths browser regularly but find no faults at all. This is a great browser. Pros: Its so simple to use. I love its metro mode and compattibility with other Microsoft Products.
Don't like it!. Internet Explorer is the worst browser I used. it keeps crashing on me so I now use Mozilla Firefox. I did download internet explorer 10 and still the same thing occurs. I will never use internet explorer again and I am looking at not using Microsoft products again. Pros: Nothing. Cons: It need to be more stable, quit crashing
IE. Bad HTML5 support, overcomplicated UI; terrible for devs and users alike. IE9 and IE10 aren't too bad, but <IE8 are almost completely horrible. Cons: everything
Horrible.. Internet Explorer is horrible. Slow. No extensions. Not compatible with Xp. Future with Vista. Only wants money. Pros: -Compatible with many sites. Cons: -everything else
Are you serious?. Internet Explorer 8 is like Netscape Navigator. It's old and slow and horrible. The startup takes like 5 minutes, page loads like in 10 seconds. Games freeze and lagg, Internet Explorer has problems everywhere. Pros: -less memory. Cons: - Everything you can think of.
Internet Explorer 8. It is terrible! It will not let me download my Facebook page and the sound on Youtube is terrible. I have to go over the Chrome to get both. And AOL is compromised by this problem and says it will cost me $129 for a tech to "fix" it. Pros: Looks pretty. Cons: See above review
IE8 Does not Even work with Microsofts own products. Recently implemented in the Government, IE8 does not work properly with Share Point 2010 portal services. The web parts and images do not display correctly or work properly. And of course, because it is the Government we can't upgrade to IE9 until it is done by committee agreement and approved globally. Pros: Works with most non-government web-sites.
Cons:
Works with hardly any government web-site or Share Point portals. Morecan I go back. Can I go back from explorer 9 back to version 8? I am having trouble with version 9.It has slowed down my computer!
just use its engine. I always have IE installed in my computer,but never use it.Actually I prefer IE based browser such as Avant browser,maxthon ect,don't like firefox,too many addons ,it too big to me who just use the basic functions. The browser I use most is Avant who is cute and easy to use.Of course I choose it instead of IE due to its stability and compatibility.
don't like IE. If you like Trident Engine ,I suggest use the Avant browser.The download is relatively small, the interface is extremely stable, mouse gestures and dockable tabs. Pop-up and ad blocking are excellent. The ability to block ActiveX, images, Java, and more "on the fly" is superb. Pros: nothing to say. Cons: If you like Trident Engine ,I suggest use the Avant browser.The download is relatively small, the interface is extremely stable, mouse gestures and dockable tabs. Pop-up and ad blocking are excellent. The ability to block ActiveX, images, Java, and more "on the fly" is superb.
MoreWhat You See Is What You Get [Updated Review]. I have updated my ratings to factor in 5 things. Out of the box, Security, Customization, Add-ons and Appearance. The reason I chose these factors is because these are what cater to the average user. The average user isn't going to notice the speed difference nor are they going to care about web standards. They just want a browser that works for their needs and this is what my tests aim to do is find the best browser that suites anyone's needs.
Internet Explorer comes pre-installed on your computer so it will suit anyone who doesn't want to install or try anything new. Internet Explorer also looks nice out of the box.
The downsides of Internet Explorer are plentiful. It's the least secure browser and offers the worst out of the box experience outside of visual. It's also not as customizable as Firefox or Chrome.
Internet Explorer isn't a horrible choice for those who don't like installing new things on your computer. Some of it's add-ons are actually pretty good and so far I rank it's overall add-ons to be better than Chrome's but I do believe that will change. I do recommend you try Firefox, Opera and Chrome but if you don't want to then please keep Internet Explorer up-to-date with the latest security patches and upgrades.
Pros:
Good Add-ons.
Eye Pleasing.
Already Installed And Ready To Go.
Cons:
Security Risk.
Overall Out Of The Box Experience Lacking.
Not As Customizable As Some Other Browsers MoreInternet Explorer don't perform. I am a web page developer and each time I design a web page I have to take in to consideration that internet explorer will most likely not support more advanced feathers such as AJAX that is used to enhance web page browsing performance. What does it help me to be able to implement AJAX if most people wont be able to see the full page properly? Pros: The only pro that I can find is that most computers comes with internet explorer already installed, therefor you don't need to download a explorer separately.
Cons:
IE is very very slow, and it does not even compare to the other explorers. MoreThe worst browser in the World.. The worst browser from the big five (Opera, Chromium, Firefox, Safari, IE). Does not support web standards W3C, slow, crashes in complex web-pages with scripts & flash, very slow Java Script engine Trident ( Opera Carakan is in 40 times faster than MS Trident ) It is strongly connected with OS Windows and it cannot be removed completely. Epic fail. Pros: 1). Maybe GUI, but Chrome & Opera is better ( Opera is customizable & Chrome is minimalistic )
Cons:
1). Speed. When I open more than 4 tabs with complex scripts, IE freezes.
2). Do not pass Acid 3 test.
3). Do not support CSS3 & HTML 5.
4). Very slow rendering.
5). Very slow Java Script engine.
6). I can't fully uninstall IE from Win7. Morehardik_2140. i thing IE8 is better than its other version's ,but it's not as popular as firefox....but it's feel good 2 use. Pros: speed is preety good. Cons: not good in a com in compe. of fire-fox
_Zak. Though i donot use interent Explorer a lot but this is the only tool that's saves me at the end - I have palyed around it - Tweaked it - Crashed it - Done all sorts of things to it and still at the end of the day it is one of the Best Exploeres out there. This is because it is integrated to Windows - Designed to be run under windows Environment. Works like Charm ! Pros: - Nothings changed in terms of appearences - I have no difficulty finding old options which i used.
- Is faster then its pervious versions
- I honestly love the simple old classic look, has no bright colors.
Cons:
- nothing MoreIE8. The best in the world. It has lots of features. You can install every search engine easily . The speed in good . Pros: Attractive. Cons: crashing
Re IE8. Lots of crashes appeared after IE8 installation.Previous used IE7 run better than the newest.Soon I will replaced by other searching program.As I heard from my friends Mozila is better than IE8.Forgive me for my pure english but think that you understand my msg.
I don't like and use IE. i do not use internet explorer, and i never really have. I now use 'opera', another web browser that is much better than IE you really need to check out 'opera' web browser, and see that it is much better than IE. Pros: NONE. Cons: EVERYTHING
New Look, Same Outdated Technology. Internet Explorer comes with a new look and feel built off Internet Explorer 7. However Internet Explorer is also behind in technology in almost any category you can think of. It's one of the slowest browsers, it's less secure than the rest and it has less features than the other browsers. On top of that it does worse on the Acid3 test than all other browsers. Hell for fun I tested IE8 against Phoenix [later known as Firefox]. Results were Phoenix did better on the Acid3 test than Internet Explorer 8. Were talking about a browser released in 2002 outdoing a browser released in 2009. That to me is enough to keep me sticking with Internet Explorer alternatives. But at least Internet Explorer produces some of the best looking web pages.
Pros:
Free
Works on almost all websites
Crisp Web pages.
Cons:
Technology is years behind the competition
A huge security risk
Less features than it's competition Morethe_xlat. It's pretty cool, and it's awesome,I love internet explorer so much, This review is true and honest.
Crashes the PC all the time. sorrry I downloaded IE8......... ever since the change fro IE7 the thing crashes, especially when clicking on an emailed link. trying to figure out how to purge it and return to IE7 or maybe back to Fire Fox again........ Pros: Better options for deleted browsing history. Cons: crashes daily.
mind. Simply did not know that the Russian nelzya.Vospolzuyus perevodchikom.Internet Eksploer 8 more like me than his predshestvenniki.do I do nepolzovalsya this browser.Sorry for such a transfer porshivy.They even starayutsya something better
