http://www.iesucks.info IE sucks : A campaign to get the dumb IE down! Mon, 28 Jun 2010 08:14:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 http://www.iesucks.info/2009/04/internet-explorer-effectively-destroying-the-web/ http://www.iesucks.info/2009/04/internet-explorer-effectively-destroying-the-web/#comments Thu, 09 Apr 2009 09:46:49 +0000 admin http://www.iesucks.info/?p=103 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.
