IE9 download available!

[George P Global Moderator]

It's a deal breaker for me. I won't use IE9 unless I can move the tab bar to its own line. The combo is ugly as hell.

The more feedback they get from people who want that option the better the odds are it'll happen though.

In the window that pops up you have 3 options:

• Import from another browser
  
• Import from a file
  
• Export to file

thx did NOT see that lol :blink:

Finally got it to install on another computer. I love the look, but some of the functionality is crap.

And WTF moment for the day: why in God's green earth does IE STILL not have a spell check built in?

No password manager.

So many features that they should have implemented aren't here. I'll stick to Firefox for now.

Hmmm has anyone noticed a graphics glitch, maybe it's a mix of my Catalyst 10.8 drivers and IE9 but I downloaded a file and click the drop down arrow to pick save as, now the save as is stuck on my desktop and won't go away. Just the menu choice not the whole save as window.

So far, it's reasonable at best. Nothing special at the moment but looking at it I can see me liking it.

The performance from the browser itself is questionable on my system. Quite often I find that it hangs in a similar manner to IE8.Also a lot of sites still render with square corners and such. :(

I also hate the white line above the webpage. That bugs me.

It's fast

Sorry Firefox :D

[HawkMan]

So any way to turn off the superbar thumbnail on this thign without using compatibility mode.

as awesome as taskbar thumbs are, it's effin stupid on a browser.

It might have something to do with drivers as well, like I said in my post above I have this weird graphics bug.

Speaking of which anyone know how you can force windows to refresh the graphics drivers? Like it does if you change the res for example.

I think mods should merge IE9 threads; they are popping all over the place. :laugh:

Here's what you should be asking yourself: why does Windows not have spell checking built in?

Well judging by how long it took for a dl manager we should see spellcheck by ie14. Hopefully IE7pro gets updated for ie9 soon (who knows mabye it works now, remember it did when ie8 nfirst came out), then we can have spellehck :)

[Pupik]

I like it. Smoother experience than my current browser (Firefox 3.6.9), but I just can't move to IE9 from it.

I need all my extensions that much :(

Press Alt -> Tools -> Internet Options -> The "Settings" button next to Tabs -> Uncheck "Show previews for individual tabs..."

Can't send feedback even though i have windows live login manager or whatever its called already installed. I followed their link too and downloaded but that didn't help. Rendering on engadget where the tweets and comments buttons are on the main page are mis-aligned. Other bug is the download manager doesn't open when i download something, i choose save and nothing really happens, no download manager screen appears anyway and the file downloads with some message like waiting or something similar written on the screen, i'm not sure if its because of my antivirus or not. The file was 30mb so should have taken 20s or so to download but didn't get a screen. So the beta is a bit buggy for sure.

This site doesn't work: http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.com/index.html

you click run or download whatever its called and after 20s or so the screen goes blank.

64bit flash works nicely, tested it on youtube, works well, not much of a jerk when going to fullscreen either which is a nice improvement.

I was able to send feedback fine, but I was already signed up for connect.

[Buendia]

Uses too much CPU on my system.

Cooling fan is going crazy.

Also, what are the system requirements for IE9 to use GPU to render?

[SkyDX]

I must say I like the UI!^^

That's probably why, you have to be signed up to connect it seems.

The benchmark ran and finished for me. You just have to give it time I guess.

Has anyone else tried to run GTA IV with IE9 installed? I think it uses IE to display web content on one of its menu screens. After installing IE9 it just crashes when it gets to that screen.

[Storm]

I actually quite like it :whistle:

I think since IE9 uses your GPU that there might be some quirks to work out with the graphics drivers. Here's hoping beta 2 works out any of those kinks and also adds features/options back that are missing atm.

Is the 64-bit version actually 64-bit? All of the iexplore processes are running in 32-bit according to task manager...

Ah that does make sense, thanks! I have uninstalled it for the moment because gaming is more important!! :)
