  1. I tried IE9 just to see what all the hype was about. It looks different but it is still IE. I experienced flickering when changing tabs and disappearing icons in the super bar with and without the GPU acceleration on. Vista Home Premium and 7 Ultimate. Same old IE. I’ll stick with Firefox

  2. I just installed IE11 on WIN 7 pro. I do not like the way the tabs are on the top of the page. How can I place tabs on the bottom of the page as in previous versions of IE?

    Thank you,
    Ken

  3. Chrome vs. IE
    Should I switch to Chrome? Which browser is considered the best, most secure, and easiest to use?

    Thank you very much for your valuable input/direction

  4. ^^ You can try other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera and use the browser which suits best to your requirements. All are good.
