I just want to ask - and I don't mean this flippant or to dismiss the issue of this thread - but why would anyone use IE?

I am just curious.

I have 3 browsers - IE, FF and Google Chrome. When one acts flaky, I use another. Occasionally one hangs or FF won't do certain things because of the add-ons I use, so I open another.

No big deal

You should also use an overall cleaner to purge your internet files, caches, and other gunk from time to time. (CCleaner is good)

Also there are still some sites that just do not work properly in anything but IE.

I have the same problem using Firefox. My browser freezes whenever the GFTForex ad is trying to load. (Bottom left of browser says "waiting for GFTForex")

Slow fills can be so annoying, eh?

I haven't run across any.

And as a general rule, if a developer isn't making a site that is compatible with FF then I don't really want to be visiting that site.

I have the same problem with some websites not ET (Future source for ex.) definitely the ads doing this. I hate it !

LOL! Where'd my "r" go?

Again, browser crashing due to ET ads. Probably the same one. Closes all my browsers when I CTRL-ALT-DELETE. Exceptionally annoying.
