One thing I've noticed in the final, and maybe this is due to installing speckie though I have it dissabled right now, since I leave IE open 24/7 etc after coming back to it after some time has passed if I click on older tabs I haven't went too in some time there's a small delay which I'm guessing is due to it paging into ram maybe? Anyone else notice this? I don't think I had this in the RC before and the only change was the addon that I installed this time around.

I noticed that speckie caused some delay when I used google search, it took a few seconds before I could open any links returned, but after disabling speckie, opening links was instantaneous. Maybe try disabling all add-ons and see if it happens, might be an out-dated add-on or something.

I think it's speckie to, it's the only add-on I have installed other than flash which was there since the RC and leaked beta so I know it's not flash. Speckie is disabled atm so I'll see how it goes. This isn't on new tabs/sites that I open it's more on older tabs that I have already open but haven't clicked on for hours which is why I was also thinking it could just be IE9 paging out the memory for that tab since I haven't used it in quite a while.

I keep 4-5 tabs open for sites I might not go back to after 4-5 hours etc.

*edit*

Oh and one last bit of info the click delay ONLY happens the first time, after that the tabs switch back and forth fast just like new, so ya, could be some memory paging going on. Anyone have tabs open that they've left sitting there for 4-5+ hours before going back to notice this?

Can anyone confirm if they can launch and play GTA4 while having IE9 installed?

Yes it works, I tried it with the RC and had constant SecuROM issues with wininet.dll, a known issue AFAIK.

looks like i will be switching from ie 9 final to FF 4 final this upcoming week.

Never even made the switched. Used IE9 like for 15min and switched back. It sure is fast, but not noticeably different from FF4 in my case. I assume the next thing for MS to work is addon implementation and support for js scripts. Once they add that, it will be more suitable for my use.

IE9 looks like a rushed release, so improperly tested before public release. They should release a new version 9.x to address all these issues

What are all these issues you talk about? It works fine for me and the websites I use.

So I can install the final version of IE9 and still be able to play GTA4?

Works fine for me.

The only issue I have noticed is some rather high memory usage with some embedded flash applets. I've switched from Firefox to Chrome to IE 9, and can say it's my new favourite browser.

I'm curious what issues? I figured IE9 was prolly more tested than anything else released previously.

No doubt. I thought it had been tested longer than usual.

No issues what so ever on 8 installs!!

The only thing I've noticed is it resets my cache/temp internet file size. Why does MS always insist on making that so huge?!

250MB is huge? Well that was my default size anyways but I moved it down to 100MB.

On 2 drives of mine it had changed it to 1250MB!!

I set mine at 50MB all the time. I have older machines and smaller hard drives compared to most people. I don't save squat on my computers, so no need for a huge hard drive.

Out of 8 machines, biggest hard drive is 1 @ 160GB's. All others are 80GB and smaller.

    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
