Microsoft Ie 10.0 Final - Released

[MikeWill]

Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0 - any comments?

[Cloggie]

I just installed the 64 bits version on my Windows 7 PC and it looks faster than Google Chrome, tested with SunSpider 0.9.1 - no problems so far

At the moment it's the most secure of the big three browsers.

But if you want to check try this:

Thanks for the heads up...for others, here's the Microsoft download Link for IE10 which was released 26 Feb 13.

I run IE9 and will definitely give IE10 a try but will wait a month or so for the brave early adopters to fine any significant bugs, see if there are a lot of reports sayings website(s) XYZ hasn't been updated yet to work with IE10, etc...etc..etc. Plus, I need to read up on IE10 a little to see what it has new & improved in it. IE9 has worked good for me, as did IE8, and I may be a little reluctant to quickly jump from something I know is working good to something that is supposedly better because I expect IE9 and IE10 couldn't exist on the same computer (i.e., IE10 would basically upgrade/replace IE9 I expect).

[Pib]

Ah heck, I got halfway through my Chang beer and said why not...live more dangerously...so I installed IE10 on my Win 7 32 bit going-on 6 year old Toshiba laptop. Since I have a good/fast internet connection I ran the install from the web vs downloading IE10 first...total time to download, install, computer to Config itself/reboot several times was 17 minutes. When I'm done and fire-up IE10 still looks the basically same as my IE9 after looking at it/playing with it for about 10 minutes. First thing I did was to see if I could log onto my Thailand and U.S. banking accounts--I could...no problem. And then, the most important log-on: ThaiVisa....works fine for the little bit of surfing around the home and forum pages I've done...and I'm writing this post no problem. I'll report back in a couple of days after using IE10 some more...but the install/upgrade of IE9 to IE10 was a piece of cake.

[Pib]

Well, I'll give some more feedback now...after surfing to dozens of different websites IE10 is definitely faster than IE9, not to imply IE9 was slow which it ain't. Even YouTube is zippier on IE10. And all those websites pulled up/surfed just fine.

I won't get into "what is the fastest browser in town" as everyone can google, read different articles/tests, draw on their own experience, and develop their own opinion on that subject.

I also installed IE10 yesterday & last night I had big problem posting here and IE10 crashed each time and had to go to task manager to get out of it again.

It might be due to the fact that I went out to cut the grass in the middle of the installation and when I came back in it's was done so I never saw if a restart was necessary or not.

This morning after some updates was installed it seems much better so I keep my finger crossed.

^ You should probably enable compatibility updates, etc., and also check what plug ins/add ons you are using.

Try that Browsercheck link above.

So you can recommend that? I can see I still got problems, as I write this the toolbar above is "grey" and can't be used.

Also attachment's in Yahoo mail is not possible I had to use Chrome to attach a picture file today.

<deleted> is going on.

[Pib]

Still no problems with IE10 on my Toshiba laptop running Win7 32bit...operating just like IE9 except faster. No problems of any kind so far...toolbars didn't change/working fine, websites pulling-up fine, etc.

[Pib]

Still no problems with IE10...for my 'puter it's a solid release.

[Totster]

IE is never solid - ditch it like every other sensible person and use a proper browser.

As I said, IE10 works just fine for me...as did IE9, IE8, etc.

As I said, at the moment, IE10 is the most secure of the big three (I haven't seen anything that supersedes the report below):

"11:00 PM - October 25, 2012 by Wolfgang Gruener - source: NSS Labs

NSS Labs has released a new edition of its security report that evaluates a browser's ability to block socially engineered malware.

The results reflect the ranking of the previously released report in August of 2011 and found Internet Explorer (version 10) to be the safest browser in this discipline under Windows 8. NSS Labs said that IE10 blocked 99.1 percent of the malware it was exposed to (virtually dead-even with the 99.2 percent result from August of last year), but Chrome improved its 13.2 percent result to 70.4 percent due to the integration of enhanced file-based reputation screening.

IE's reputation blocking accounted for 10.6 percent of IE's malware blocking, up from 3.2 percent last year. Firefox fell from 7.6 percent to 4.2 percent and is now listed behind Safari which dropped from 7.6 percent to 4.3 percent. Opera was not included in the review this year."

Talking of Browsers, I'm using Chrome and the "reply to this topic" box, and all of the editing controls, quote, URL, etc. are greyed out.

Maybe I'll try my next post in IE10.

[Chicog]

Nope, IE10 doesn't work on this new, s**t version of TV either.<br /><br />Anyway, for anti-Phishing, Chrome edges it, but I'd always recommend you add anotherreputation plug-in anyway.<br /><br />https://www.nsslabs.com/sites/default/files/upload/report/images/2012_Browser_Phishing_BlockRate.png

There is a little light switch button at the top left of the panel, click on that and it will un-grey.

Security is as good as they are able to fix it. If we look at the latest browser problem http://www.tomshardware.com/news/HTML5-Exploit-Cookies-localStorage-Proof-of-Concept,21328.html

We see that Firefox doesn't have the problem, Google Chrome fixed the problem overnight, and well for Internet Explorer 10 we have to wait until hopeful next security update on the agenda which is next week on the earliest... (and trust me if a Microsoft person says its the most secure browser I start worrying....)

Groovy. Thanks for that mate. Another TV "improvement"?

NSS Labs isn't Microsoft.

But frankly if any vendor says their product is the best/safest/fastest I tend to switch off...

Yeah, the powers that be have been busy "improving" the ThaiVisa experience. <sigh....>

Amongst other things, like mucking up the quote function -- try editing out a nested quote -- today it seems to be downloading a "push" file for every thread viewed. Opera shows it as such:

Seems to work ok in IE 10 for me.

I have installed and tried IE 10. IMHO it is by far the best ever IE. That said, I'll stick to Chrome.

Some might say that the "little light switch button at the top left of the panel" should have been ON for everyone after the "improvement".

I wouldn't say that, of course.

Yes. The best thing to do when you hit the "too many quotes" error, is to go back to "dumb" mode - hit the top left icon (why is it called "BBCode Mode"?) - and then it is easier to delete the centre quote like I just did with Totster's comment above.

Yep, it sure works good, don't it:

PS: Boy, trying to quote hml367's message with the end-quote tags was sure an effort!

PSS: The occurrences of downloading of the "push" file has dropped considerably. When I first posted above it was *every* thread that I opened, but now maybe one in twenty or thirty?

[hml367]

Not quite sure what you mean. I quoted, edited out part of the quote and posted. It worked fine.

Then I edited the post and reposted to see if that worked - it did.

I never got any file downloads.

[wpcoe]

I was being sarcastic. Your post saying that the forum software was working fine displayed exactly the phenomenon that results when editing nested quotes. i.e. It no longer displays as a quote, per the screen shot of your post:
