Computer trivia

Ok.
After trying Google Chrome browser, I have immediately downloaded Microsoft IE 8.0 beta to try and compare it with Chrome. Now I sincerely repent for having done that. Previously I was using Firefox and IE, but now I’m only left with Firefox.

I should have listened to the Microsoft website, which said IE 8.0 may be unstable and install it only if you really want to try it out. I have downloaded it and upgraded i and had a our of all the cool features of their new browser. I don’t remember the features as I hardly used that browser, but I should say, like every time Microsoft has once again come out with a really cool browser (I didn’t use the features but I know they are there). They have added almost all the features that Chrome offered and also had a very good interface with more space for the webpage and lesser for the browser.

Unfortunately, this being a beta version, the program behaves very unreliable and I don’t know what happened exactly. Whenever I start the browser, it will first turnoff the phishing filter in my Norton Internet Security and then in a few minutes goes into non-responding state (this happens even when I stop my Norton).

I tried to see if it is possible to revert to the IE 7 which I had been using for the past one year, but couldn’t find out anyway (I believe it is possible. Please tell me if you know how). But as of now, I just have one browser - Firefox and I’m waiting for IE 8.0 full to be released, so that I can get back into my normal flow of Internet browsing. If Google also comes with a stable version, its much better. Let all of them compete to provide me a better browser
