I've been using Chrome as well, but was just wondering how IE8 compares.

OMG, I absolutely loved FF2... then hated FF3.

But now, Chrome is what FF3 should have been.

Chrome is like looking out the Window but with no glass blocking your view.

I noticed a lot of problems with Chrome. Some youtube videos can't be played, you can't view image properties, and some files can't be downloaded.

out of beta? RC?
I thought it was going to be a few more months.

nvm, i checked from a source.
Expect it from windows auto updates.

I can't wait.
Even though FF is my primary browser, I do like IE's drop down bookmark and Chrome's fast bootup and page load times.

IE6 FTW... except now on my main computer, for some reason it has serious memory leak issues.

IE8 looks kinda neat.
I like the Web Slice feature, is it just another name for Feeds but with added features?
InPrivate browsing is also a new feature. Chrome calls it Incognito.
And sites that were meant to be viewed with older browsers now can be viewed in IE8 with the Compatibility View.
Also, the Accelerator can map locations just by highlighting the address. If only they added maps.google.com and not use live.com

I'm still having trouble understanding the coloured tabs.
I think it's colour coded by tabbed, favourites and session... etc.

Tabs do load longer.
It seems everyone is experiencing this problem.
This will be my main browser till Chrome implements addons.

No issues with the tabs here but the tabs are setup differently in IE8;
