Tried IE8 - Too Many Blanks for Me
I took a poll last week for opinions about Google’s Chrome browser. The results were split, 2 really liked it, one hated it and the last one said they would just rather stay with their current browser. Frankly, even though I didn’t vote in the poll, I agreed that I tried it and didn’t like it much either, too many things that didn’t work the way I like.
That being said, I thought I would try the newest browser version of Internet Explorer. IE8.
Internet Explorer 8 IS a lot faster than IE7. Comparable to the Google Chrome in speed. BUT…
Even though it does most of the things I do like with IE7 (like support previous RSS subscriptions) it also has a major drawback in my opinion. It doesn’t show captions.
When you are browsing a site that has, lets say, a picture that has a caption when you do a hover (when you put the cursor over the pic) you get an enlarged Blank Box. What good is that?
Another problem within the same vein is that if you click on a Drawdown Menu, such as the one I have on all by blogs for Archives and Categories or lists of any type on other sites, you also get a Big Blank Box. Also a problem.
Needless to say, I am Not a Happy Camper. I really have liked IE in all the iterations, until now. There are too many blanks for me for it to be usable. So, IE8 has been UNinstalled and I am back to using IE7. (And for all you FireFox pundits, I don’t like the way it renders MOST pages I visit, so I don’t use it either except for testing purposes.)
No poll, but I would like to hear your opinions on IE8, Chrome or any other Browser that works for you.
