Wow, a great step in the right direction

No proper adblock support = a no go for me though

Try the adblock solution I mentioned earlier in the thread or something like Admuncher if you don't mind spending the cash

One problem that I'm having with it now is that some youtube videos won't play at all, yet they are fine on Chrome.
The video page loads and a play icon appears, I click it and then nothing else happens.

Where is the option to turn cleartype off?

Have you got activex filtering enabled?

There is still a few flash problems but I do understand that Adobe are getting these issues sorted with the next update. Some of the flash sites won't load.

Nope it's disabled, but as I said some videos play fine on IE9 whilst others just won't load at all.

Have a question
in FF you could drag and drop website under the adress bar to create one click shortcut buttons/ links that permanantly sat there..im kinda use to that but im liking EX9 personally and want to use it..but missing this handy feature...does EX9 have something the same?

 

[PhillyDee]

Blimey, my bank doesn't support IE9 yet. How can i put IE8 back on?

Thats why I keep Firefox and chrome on. I know the Royal Mail OBA crashes with IE (all versions on all laptops) so you have to use it!

I dunno what those benchmarks do - but IE9 is NOT faster than Firefox 3.6 in normal usage.

it is for me by absolutely miles.

Firefox runs like a dog for me. I have two browsers open at all times with 4 tabs on each. FF consumes 1gb of memory and keeps climbing. IE9 - 300mb.

I took it off right away because of this and after 10 years if IE, i am now happily using Firefox 4.

Looking good so far, I had no idea IE9 was even on the horizon until I signed out of my Hotmail account and it took me to the download page!

I've got my tabs showing below the URL box, can they be shifted underneath the Favourites bar as per IE8?
