When chrome puts in a pulldown address bar I'll think about it.

They are right though, it has a lot of bad things....being the world's fastest browser is a real negative for it..or the fact that I have 25 more vert. pixel space is bad..and the evil omnibar...oh wait...those are not negatives..]]>Mar 2nd 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/
I will switch to chrome when I get one thing - A proper noscript clone. I know they added in a javascript blocker in chrome recently, the problem is if you authorize a page, you authorize every single script running on that page. Id rather choose what I am and am not authorizing.

Until then, I'll be using firefox.

You can blame Adobe or whatever you like, but Chrome crashed on me for the first time today after weeks of use, which only served to illustrate how stable it's been compared to Firefox. And I'm convinced that Firefox has continued to "leak" memory at least as recently as when I finally tossed in the towel and switched.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/Mar 3rd 2010 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/
actually, according to the hacker who won the Pwn2Own browser security contest these last two years, the most secure browsers are IE8 and Google chrome on Windows 7.

http://www.oneitsecurity.it/01/03/2010/interview-with-charlie-miller-pwn2own/

firefox is way more unsecure, as it doesn't run inside a sandbox.

Chrome run inside a sandbox, but not its plugins.
IE on vista/7 is the only browser that runs with its plugins inside a sandbox, which makes it almost unvulnerable to flaws in flash player or adobe reader, as opposite to other browsers.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/Ah, Opera.

good point haha xD

its mainly non tech savy people that use IE more than any other browser so they are really going for the largest audience and also the most vulnerable people... at least that what i assume xD]]>Mar 2nd 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/
And IE users can't vote on your post, and 66% of them can't even post a comment.

It is obvious Engadget doesn't know how to fix it. Better to blame the browser than to learn to do it right.]]>Mar 2nd 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/Hahahaha I didn't know that, you're right I just tried!]]>Mar 2nd 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/Mar 2nd 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/Mar 2nd 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/
It's really sad that Engadget just totally ignores people who want to use IE 8 to access their site. I'm not quite sure what we did, but if we say we're really sorry, will you fix it?]]>Mar 2nd 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/microsoft-cautions-ie-faithful-on-windows-xp-to-avoid-f1-key/
