IE6 is a disaster and should be banned, IE8 is okay, slow but more secure. IE9 actually is fast, I can't tell any difference in load times between Chrome, Safari, the new Minefield from Mozilla or the new IE9 preview which has no UI. So maybe there's hope for IE, Microsoft seems like their products have improved lately, certainly Win 7 is great, I love the new Office, and Win Phone 7 looks very interesting. If the IE9 team can keep up the speed on the final product I think IE will see there market share begin to rise again.

Why go backwards, webkit browsers are the future. I used to use Firefox but now Safari or Chrome - faster better standards and better UI. Why anyone would wait for something as slow as Firefox I don't get. Firefox is so lat year!

It is updated OFTEN, as opposed to "rarely" (like IE). Safari beats all comers for sheer speed, but I still prefer FF. Opera and Chrome have no features that jump out to me as "must have".
