IE9 - Anyone else using it ?

I've been using IE9 for a day now and I like it, very quick running and faster than GC, fastest browser I've used to date. So anyone else using it and what do you think ?

Using it at the monent,
I hav ethe 64bit verion for win 7 and so far I like it.
But I had to run compatibility mode for youtube.
Its much faster.

I like the pin feature.

So far so good.

Downloaded it yesterday. Running Win7 x64.

I'm finding it very slow loading some pages. The little green animated circle stops and it appears the page is loaded - but the page is blank.
A few seconds later it loads all at once.

IE 8 loaded the same pages a lot quicker.

Same here, 64bit Win 7, youtube running fine for me.

I installed it last night. Only had a few minutes to check it out. I usually use chrome. I opened boards.ie in both browsers. Initially IE9 was very slow, as I would expect as it was the first time it was used. But I repeatedly closed it then opened boards.ie and I found chrome is still a lot faster.

Is it just me or has IE9 got very glitchy lately, pictures not displaying, pages freezing or not displaying, text missing, trying to view Facebook is a nightmare at times too....

@hellboy99 - I had similar problems. I uninstalled IE9 after a few days.
Found it incredibly slow, freezing and not displaying pages correctly.

The beta adobe flash that I had to install (win7 64bit) had a ridiculous memory leak as well.

Have been using it for the past 2 weeks or so without any problems, 32-bit Win7. Find it nice and quick alright. Though one website did tell me that i "appear to have an older version of Internet Explorer and should upgrade" hah! Only thing i don't like is, when a page is doing something, or loading, you can't tell! no status bar unless i've missed something in the settings!

KoolKid

Yeah I miss the status bar as well. I also don't like the download speed is not shown.

woolymammoth

ah! figured it out. right-click in the space left of the home button, enable status bar. in fairness, it's not as sexy with teh status bar!

KoolKid

Out and about at the moment.Ill check it out later, thanks.

I'm running it on Win7 64bit also, it was fine for the first two weeks but lately it just got too many issues. Back to using Chrome.

i like it but it also seems more dependent on the speed of your pc/laptop. for some reason it seems almighty faster on my desktop rather than the laptop when you compare it to firefox they both seem the same. visually i like IE9 Beta more than Firefox 4 Beta 6.

Though Firefox plugins like Adblock Plus and Youtube to MP3 got me back to firefox

I tried it and didnt like it. Very Chrome like in its appearance and found page loads very buggy.
Was very happy with IE8 but now using Firefox 3.6. Very good
