Thread: Can we get a decent browser?

Things I would like to see in Windows 8

OK Microsoft, can we talk?
Just between us, this is getting really embarrassing now.

Every version of Internet Explorer that gets released seems to be

• Worse than the last one
• Much worse than the competition

For the love of pete, do what American car manufacturers should have done years ago..COPY the competition!
Everywhere I look I see benchmark stats about how Chrome is the fastest, no it’s Firefox, oh I’m sorry I mean Opera.
The major browsers continue to innovate and compete.
Internet Explorer continues to render pages slowly, have css problems, need a compatibility mode etc etc
Google the phrase “IE problems” or “IE bugs” and you might as well not make any plans for a few hours. Tons and tons of issues.
This is MICROSOFT. You guys can make a good browser!
Start from Scratch or just acquire Opera, throw it into Windows 8 and start from there.
For once, It would be nice to install a copy of Windows and not have the first URL I go to be Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable
Just for once…

i second this

Hi,
When my internet cable is plugged directly into my computer from the wall, my computer obtains an IP address and connects to my browser no problem.When I plug the cable from the wall into my router and then from the router into the computer, it also obtains a IP address, says I'm connected but my browser will not work. This also happens when I connect to it wirelessly.So basically, when I go directly from the modem to my computer my internet works fine, but when I go through to router, it says it's connected (Internet and WLAN light are both on as well on the router) and has IP address but the browser will not work. Help me.
