I recently upgraded to IE8. Since doing so, my Internet problems have increased. It is sometimes slower to get to a site. More often than before, I have trouble accessing a site and get a generic error message. Worse than that, at times my browser window looks up and remins blank. This happens when I start opening several windows. When I get to 5 or more windows, the newer windows tend to lock up like this. (I like to open new windows rather than new tabs, because I feel it is easier to switch between windows.)
When my screen looks, I get out with task manager and it asks if I want to report a problem. I never used to report them but now I do because the problems keep cropping up. (I really onder if reporting does any good.)
Is anon else having problems like this?
(And yes I am considering switching to firefox).

IE8 was good but firefox is the best for now it is very customizable as compare to any other browser
chrome is fast to start but you cannot add many toolbar as most of them only support IE or firefox
i would say switch to Firefox without a doubt

I'm using IE8 for some time now, and i've never had any trouble. I must add my computer and internet connection are quite fast.
