IE9 Release Candidate
-
Hello all, Just downloaded it it seems it works better than the beta that was here till today. A bit changed in the graphics side but imho its a little bit better. Apart from that it seems more robust than before and there are plenty of places that I needed to visit them in the compatibility mode that now work without it... Well, let's see how much time the joys stands...

IE9 RC has an acid3[^] test of 95/100 Chrome has an acid3 test of 82/100 Firefox 3.6.12 has an acid3 test of 94/100 (EDIT: Chrome actually has 100/100, some extension I had installed made Chrome fail. I will investigate further...) (EDIT2: the following extensions muck with the ACID3 test: csscan, jsshell, measureit!)

It's also a lot faster than the beta. Also the beta wouldn't show you anything(like the busy rotating circle) if a page takes longer to load. And some other minor fixes.

Liked it a lot. Removed Chrome (which I installed ONLY for viewing sites that weren't opening in IE9 Beta). It is still missing Spell Check!

IE9 still doesn't support features that Firefox has had for over 2 years. IE9 is a POS. But what else would you expect from MS.

:laugh: Probably I'm still in the group of the ones that still believe that they can do nice things... I've never tried firefox... so I can't compare... but IE9 it is working nice by now and I like it and enjoy using it.

Yes, the beta was a nightmare when it was not capable to open certain web pages... Let's hope this one will work properly (as by now).

And if they did implement everything FF has then Microsoft would be accused not being creative and just copying from everyone else. :rolleyes: Can't please everyone, especially MS-haters.

And your point is? HTML5 isn't even an approved standard yet. Those who hate Microsoft will always find fault with anything they produce.

And they are obviously very important features, since IE's marketshare has gone down the toilet in favor of firefox.

Never understood what everyone* is yammering about, anyway. I've yet to visit a site that IE didn't work with just fine**, try to do something I couldn't do, or otherwise become frustrated. Why on earth would I want to switch to another browser? Just because? As a matter of fact, every time I have loaded a different browser (to test how my sites would look, for instance), they sucked smelly socks. No, I don't mean the pages displayed badly because of "non-standard" CSS or anything. I mean the browser itself sucked, was buggy, was slow, was annoying. I've better uses for my time than fight with software I don't need. (To be fair, FF wasn't too bad...just pointless. Opera was downright horrible.) *Well, not everyone, of course. **Except for sites that were improperly configured...like hard coding a check for IE6 that thinks IE8 isn't newer, etc. :laugh:

My Chrome is 97/100.

don't know, but I tested it today and got the figure I posted. perhaps its the plugins & extensions I have installed.

yes, it was some extension that made the acid test fail.

probably due to some extension you have installed... such is the case with me.

ok, so IE9 doesn't support NON-STANDARD extensions to the HTML5 not-yet-a-standard specification. WHOOP-DEE-DOO!!! HTML5 is a *moving target* bird-brain!
