As IE8 final version releases,many people begin to pay their attention to it.
Once a guy told me:"To believe or not,once a new IE version releases,a great argument will soon come" That's true.
I can see something like "IE is rubbish","Fucking IE","FF&OP are faster" everyday...

But as known to all,every browser has its own core to support, IE->Trident,FF->Gecko,Chrome->Webkit,Opera->Presto, others: Tasman,Webcore,Khtml and stuff...

Besides that,browser has Javascript to control and deal JS,like:tracemonkey,carakan,V8...

I guess many users complain about IE mostly because IE doesnt support W3C,and catch versus easily. Here,Let's see IE's support for CSS

we can see IE8 is the same as the others,though it was stupid before,it is fixed now. someone doesnt updates his IE,still use old version to browse and meet lots of problems, is it reasonable to blame IE???
( One reason can be that they use Pirate OS and are afraid of being caught by Microsoft...so no update is a good choice )

OK,another issue:security. in fact, both IE and FireFox have vulnerabilities. According to the report of Secuia 2008,FireFox has the most vulnerabilities.. in the picture,IE stands for IE 5.X,6.X,7. I never see FireFox's bug-fixed speed is faster than IE...

Maybe someone will ask:"why does my IE always catch versus?". It has nothing to do with IE,it's the result of abusing ActiveX.If you will, you can shut off. None of FireFox,Opera,Chrome supports ActiveX ( the condition of no PLUS ).

Of course IE has many weakpoints ( low JS efficiency),but...I think IE will become better and better :smile:

Moved to the Computer, Internet & Network section. :wink:

As far as I know it's been a while Internet Explorer can pass the Acid2 test. But if you do the Acid3 one, IE8 gets a miserable 20/100 score, whereas the latest Opera and Safari alphas get 100/100.

I doubt IE will become "better and better" as Microsoft has stated passing the A3 test doesn't "map" to their goals.

It just makes things worse that people go around spreading crap that fills up the registry which causes anti-IE errors on startup. I've seen my share, and I must say it would appear to me at this point that IE's reputation's gonna need more than updates to salvage.
