IE SUCKS – Internet Explorer Effectively Destroying the Web
April 9th, 2009
I drafted a series of articles about IE8 and its implications for web designers while I was beta testing it. I found quite a lot to like about RC1 and upgraded to the final release as soon as it was available. Now, I am uninstalling Internet Explorer 8 and won’t be touching it again until there is a patch out. The final release is nowhere near as stable as the RC1 was.
The issues I found include:
- 100% CPU usage;
- accelerators staying active long after I had closed IE;
- Windows XP crashing;
- Settings overwritten – not just the settings I had in RC1, but ClearType, task bar and quick launch were all reset to Microsoft’s default;
- Interference with my Logitech mouse;
- Refusing access to my PC’s localhost, and not keeping the settings for it, so making local testing impossible.
