Have any of you switched to Internet Explorer 8, and if so, would you recommend it? I've looked for online reviews, but they all have to do with the beta release. Thanks.

I've had it for awhile now but I still use Firefox most of the time. Haven't had any problems with it yet.

It certainly can't hurt to upgrade your IE browser to version 8, but like Lloyd, I prefer Firefox - less prone to getting hacked, and I personally like it better. if you haven't used Firefox before, you can google it and try it out. The Firefox install is MUCH smaller than the IE one...

Thanks for the responses. I used Firefox some time ago, but as I remember it, certain pages didn't load up correctly. Have any of you had a problem with that happening?

Nope. It's been a looong time since Firefox gave me any trouble. It's safer too, I recommend you to get it!
