Re: Internet Explorer 9 Released
 
am using it on my main pc now.

dllwrapper to disable cleartype.
classic shell (classicIE9) to get better status bar.

and using built in tracker feature with easylist for ad blocking, so simple adblock is actually made redundant with IE9. Waste of cash buying that thing in the end.

am using simple adblock again.

Seems the tracking feature for me has 2 issues.

1 - it doesnt collapse blocked elements, so big empty gaps where ads were.
2 - it seems to slow down browsing, so did surprise me a 3rd party addon is faster than a built in feature. At least I dont feel ripped off now as using what I paid for.

Internet Explorer 9.0.2 was released 3 days ago and included these changes:

- The Internet Explorer 9 option “Ignore colors specified on webpages” does not remove background images on webpages
- Internet Explorer takes a long time to open a message in Outlook Web App
- The Save As dialog box disappears and the file is not saved when you try to download a file in Internet Explorer 9 to a network share on which you have Change permissions
- Pictures on a webpage are only partly displayed in Internet Explorer 9 when both IPv4 native sites and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack sites exist in the network
- Internet Explorer 9 may stop responding when you browse some webpages in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

OR search Windows updates for the update

I get nothing but crashes when I run IE9, and my laptop is very powerful so they're clearly doing something wrong. Firefox runs just fine for me :)

Just an addendum to this. IE9 now gets 100/100 from the revised Acid 3 test ;)

On the other hand IE9 gets constant crashes and doesn't work with our university's VLE :(

Is that the one written by MS?! ;)

Actually FF6 also passes so can join Opera and Chrome with 100/100.

IE8 still fails miserably and since work has XP one can't get IE9.
