    Personally I am deeply suspicious of a web browser created by the World's biggest advertising company.

    I wonder how many people have read through the full terms and conditions that it comes with. I did, and promptly un-installed it.

    I'll stick with a web browser from a non-profit organisation instead.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    IE8 is a pile of ****, so is pretty much every other IE. Change/upgrade to Chrome or Firefox.

    a few reasons why

    1. faster
    2. more stable
    3. more secure
    4. renders pages more accuratly
    5. better support for html5 and css3
    6 more open code so people have actually looked what they are doing
