    Read about it, but haven't had the time to try it out yet.

    The forums require compatibility mode? If you don't use it, what happens? Doesn't load correctly?

    I really love chrome, very fast and reponsive, but it doesn't have the RSS feed toolbal :(

    So have to stick with FF

    I'm using IE9 full version. Seems a bit unstable at times. But it is fast.

    Usinf FF 4 RC now, way better than 3.6.

    IE9 still loads much faster than FF4 RC, especially this forum. But the FF4's revised interface is by far the best of all 3 browsers IMO.

    What do you mean by unstable? It crashes?

    Yeah IE is faster, as of now FF is the slowest browser around. But I too used to FF interface and add-ons.

    Luckily I don't rely on add-ons too much. I didn't really try Chrome. Not sure what's the improvement since the first release.

    What do you mean by scrollable? Sideways or updown?

    I've been using IE9 for a while now. It's absolutely awesome! When it works... :lol:

    I love more viewing real estate. Kinda sad to see the search box go away (I kinda like the drop down search engine parts of IE8/FF). Opera style "tiles" are "interesting".

    I find that I have to click the compatibility mode on some sites to get them to display properly. But the rendering is super fast! Almost instant on sites like facebook/amazon/etc (internet connection YMMV).

    Even TechARP forums, I have to use the compatibility mode. Yeah, I still prefer the separate search bar.

    Have you tried the FF4? The viewing estate is excellent!

    Does it seem to do that with any particular site? Or just randomly??

    Viewing is excellent and the search bar is still there. But it is slow! :o

    FF got the GPU acceleration all wrong.

    text is blurry. tab preview is not live tab!

    for once I'm disappointed with FF!

    Tried IE 9 - quite good, FF 4 - don't like, Chrome 11 - Best!
