I just installed IE8 on my Netbook and it's a lot quicker than Firefox. I've now uninstalled Firefox and I am using IE8.
It keeps crashing on my desktop PC though so I'll be sticking with Firefox on my main PC unless I can get it fixed.
Is there a decent adblocker for IE8? I will really miss using Adblock Plus.
Try IE7PRO. I believe it works with IE8 too. It adds all manner of Firefox-esque bits to IE, including Adblock.
