I would like someone from the IE team to explain how it is that a browser built by an MS team for Windows is less stable than one built by Google. I have tried to stay with IE and evangelized the browser, but it is constantly crashing on my. I have disabled all addons and it still happens. 1-3 times a day in normal browsing. If I switch to Chrome it simply doesn't crash. And, it is pretty difficult to build a simple IE addon while it is pretty trivial and relatively safe in Chrome as they allow one to write extensions in javascrpt. Add to this the slow pace of updates of new functionality, the lack of regular betas for IT pros even those who pay for an MSDN subscription and one has to wonder whether or not it is worth it to stay with IE.

I know IE10 is coming but we still see too few developer updates, I still can't create an extension in javascrip and I have little hope for better stability.

"For the love of God! Microsoft stop doing this "compatibility" stuff, you only need to support the latest web standards, this way you force people to migrate to the latest versions of their browsers"

For Christ's sake, have you ever heard about corporate environments that rely on web-based Intranet interfaces developed for IE6 and 7? Thank god at least Microsoft cares about businesses instead of caring just about the needs of the Children of Facebook.

Hi,

Important question:

What is the difference between "interoperable quirks mode" and "ie5 quirks mode" ? (beside additional html5 support)

Will old websites without doctype will work exactly the same in interoperable quirks mode as they worked before in IE7/IE8 legacy quirks mode? or it may fail in some cases?

Thanks,

Tal

By the way, does anybody have a link to IE10 PP2? The link at IETestdrive points to the 4th, windows 8 only platform preview. I've had to reinstall recently and I didn't have the installer saved.

antiufo: How much time you spend looking at about:blank for this to be a problem?

@Ted Johnson: HTML5 features in Quirks mode could be useful when you're forced to post new content in an old wrapper -- e.g., your new blog post can use a video tag even if it's in an old quirky blog template.

But yeah, in a strong majority of cases you might as well just add a DOCTYPE.

@enlightenment:

There is no such thing as "HTML5 WebGL". What you eman is nonstandard stuff under name WebGL and due to various reasons it is not supported nor is it so far planned. No matter what mode you use. (Currently primary reason is security - kernel hosts graphics drivers - and absolute reliance on OpenGL, which is implemented by GPU vendors as Microsoft no longer ships their own)

Is HTML5 WebGL available in IE Quirks mode? Or will it only be available in IE HTML5 standards mode?
