windows Will IE9 be your primary browser when it becomes stable next month?

[daredevil]

Now this may sound silly to do for most people but here's why some people will do it:

 

1) People didn't switch from Firefox to Chrome despite the lack of extensions, so they don't care about extensions, they want speed.

 

2) People want security and it looks like IE9 has made changes to keep itself clean.

 

3) People want HTML5 adoption and IE9 seems to focus on that heavily, with the most advanced hardware acceleration so far.

 

4) People want stuff like h.264 in their browser for video and Chrome has failed them in keeping it.

 

5) People are beginning to distrust Google moreso than ever and they want a browser that is fast and is fully compatible with Windows so I can see a lot of people saying IE9 is their best alternative for speed and standards since Firefox is slow and many pages don't work in Opera due to Opera's low marketshare, while IE9 will probably always have the highest marketshare. I think a lot of people will be saying no to Google as the browser wars get more heated with Opera and IE9 getting faster without the privacy concerns.

 

That's all I can think about so far, so feel free to add more reasons why IE9 would be heavily adopted and tell us if you would switch.

I will keep using GChrome, i dont like any IE, i don't know why.

[milli vanilli]

never really been a fan of google stuff anyways. i'll probably stay with firefox

[Desu]

Opera has been fast for me, but sometimes like you said, doesnt work for some pages.

prob gonna switch to ie9

[Wifestein]

Firefox <3 I dont care about the speed, I hate how google looks, its just ugly lol

[Thoracic]

I'd probably switch for reason #5, if IE can improve the speed and since it seems most sites are optimized for IE.

[SickOne]

IE is a no-go , even with all the afdvances and features i will stay with firefox or even change to anoither browser . Google browser ? Pffffff

[-=Medic=-]

I already testing and like it but No, only yes if it will have firefox addons and customization, even chrome I don't use it that much cuz I love the way firefox let you change everything like change buttons positions or add space and more stuff

^^ I agree

 

I am currently using IE 8 and Opera

 

If it´s finished i will use IE 9 and Opera

[JoeDirt]

I always used multiple browsers and even though I am partial to MSFT even IE9 doesnt give me all the options I need.

[Chuckun]

As a webdeveloper i have to use all browsers.. Even f'ing safari.. i don't trust google.. I use opera, and doubt ill ever use ie

[Funksdead]

I have firefox, safari, IE8 and opera installed. I will be using mozilla firefox forever. But I must confess that damn safari loads pages really fast.

[PHANTASM]

I use IE8 for everything except youtube videos, where I use Firefox with the Ad Blocker running so I don't have to watch all the damn commercials on youtube.

 

I read IE9 will not work on XP, so it will have to wait until I get a new computer with Win7 lol.

[NoGooD]

I'd honestly have to test it out before I could say either way. I use FF, IE8, Safari and occasionally Opera. Didn't care for chrome. On the occasion I do surf to sites on IE, or FF with the ad blockers turned off Im' stunned at how much crap I never see b/c of add-ons like noscript. Otherwise too many add-ons = slow, bloated and unstable.

[Crasher]

IE always says their browsers are going to be the next best thing and then nobody uses it. Not sure if this will be any different but either way I think i'll stick to firefox.
