Every broswer can provide you with noscript and ad block plus lol ad block can be replaced with a hosts file and there are plenty of hosts managers out there like hostsman, this has the added benefit of if you do set it up right you can block malware sites too in that list not just tracking and ad servers. And noscript is just a matter of setting up your browser to be on a high security mode all the time then adding in trusted websites that you go to on a regular basis which all browsers support in one form or another. | ||

I've used alternatives and manual alternatives and none are as convenient. | ||

So wait it copies chrome and it fails? Elaborate how it copies chrome and do so in more than 1 reason and then if you just want 1 reason then all browsers copy all browsers. I except some great responce from you as you already establish your eliquent take on the english language with your gay IE statement.

I find people don't change browser not because of features or speed or w.e but because they have grown accustom to it and anything that would change would be seen as incontinences. Personally i use custom levels for trusted websites and everything else with hosts file, i do this becuase no ad ons means no added complications with a browser which i like. | ||

It's the features and the UI that needs work and that i look forward to with their beta 2 and eventual RC | ||

I'm well aware but as you know i was just commentating to those saying oh a chrome copy, when IE9 is just doing the best that those devs can think of. IE9 was the first to announce gpu acceleration on things like text rendering etc and was the first to do so in a public release. So now that Chrome is getting gpu accel does that make it a IE copy. You see how such shallow statements are bad forms of logic. | ||

Why would someone want to use it? beta testing has it's important it allows devs to gain a ton of data and make changes accordingly. Haters gonna hate on IE will just lead to IE to always be shitty. | ||

You see how such shallow statements are bad forms of logic. Not exactly. Gpu acceleration is not a groundbreaking innovation. Developers start just now to get that in their browsers simply because the appropriate system calls (Direct2d) introduced with Windows 7 release. Actually mozilla is working on gpu acceleration since late 2009 and MS announced that months later but still as i said no one shows the way, it is just a response: Direct2d introduced with win7 -> Browsers (among other programs) start to use it. And tbh there are many more important things that matter out there. What's the point for accelerated rendering if it fails partially or completely to construct the page cause the engine does not fully support standards (css anyone?) and im not talking just about IE, is just that IE has the worst history. | ||

And i know gpu acceleration isn't ground breaking hardly anything is like that anymore gpu acceleration is no more ground breaking as chromes super bar or w.e they call it. Again I'm just pointing out to the haters that poor logic doesn't fly, calling IE a chrome knock off due to one thing is a sad attempt if you want to be a dick about something online you should use pictures! Also i think the people who will want gpu accell the most are the tablet market people and phones. | ||

A quick highlight list of what they did between beta and RC: ![[image loading]](http://ieblog.members.winisp.net/images/IE9RCEngineeringChart.png) So far for me personally it's gone downhill quite a bit. Pages take much longer to load and hang a lot (like loading a new page and probalby pressing the "post" button is cringe worthy and hangs the whole browser). Maybe its something on my end that I did wrong with my setup but so far I'm rather disappointed in the RC version being worse than the Beta version (at least for me). | ||
