IE Stupidity
-
In IE 10, open a new tab, address bar contains 'about:blank', now open the address bar dropdown, you see two search buttons: one for bing and another for google (might be different for you), click on bing button for example and it opens a bing search with search text 'about:blank'. In other words, it searches whatever is in the search box, even a url.

Surely it is settable to make new tabs open on the home page? Certainly with FF it is, although for some reason it is much harder to set the focus of the new tab into the search box of google (which is the new tab homepage I use).

You looking for sympathy? You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric (Page 1788, if it helps)

Use IE only to download FF or Chrome. :) :) :)

Agree , bu the worst mess up they did was write a browser thats features could not be detected by its own Development Framework. Their stupidity cost me hours and days in support calls and hotfixes, and in IE11 they broke it again

I use IE 11. I'm shocked at how slow it is, how often it locks up, and how goofy it can be when it comes to placement of the focus and so forth. Microsoft needs to give Google a billion dollars, buy the latest version of Chrome, and place a Windows 8.1 skin on it and be done.

I loved the fact that IE11 was the only browser that wouldn't work with Exchange 2010 OWA - Safari, Firefox and Chrome were all fine. Luckily Microsoft released a patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2866064[^] :doh:
Yup they love breaking their own stuff I loved how they broke SQL connections with their release of .net 4.5 then threw a lot of technical mumbo jumbo at it never blaming the actual cause until they fixed it in .net 4.5.1 :)
