Which is weird, because my work Outlook email would only ever work under FF.

I hate how the tabs look, I don't like the buttons, placement of the refresh button...

updated and it seems mostly the same as IE7.  biggest change is that opening a blank tab now has a lot of cool options.

i am sure there is an "accelerator" (i.e. a plug-in) that does that

managing addons is much better than IE7 but no, there is no FF style addons as far as i know.

This sucks balls, I want to go back. I dont want the stupid smartaddress bar to show me every fucking URL in existence. I just want my last 6 sites I entered to appear in the dropdown, like before. Ugh.
Title: Re: ie8 is out. get the best browser ever made or i will shank you.
Post by: demi on March 19, 2009, 04:17:55 PM
I fixed it kind of. It was related to autocomplete. I had to enable it, but disable everything else (favorites, history)

Now when I click the dropdown it shows my recent URLs. It still does some gay ass search crap if I try to manually type a URL in. Would love to disable that.

On the upside, I do love manually erasing URLs. No more typo'd websites!

what is the deal with the tab colors? sometimes yellow, sometimes green and other times blue.  it's not for different types of pages either, it's like they randomly change.  Can I just keep them blue?
Title: Re: ie8 is out. get the best browser ever made or i will shank you.
Post by: MCD on March 19, 2009, 06:50:12 PM
it's called tab groups, it groups similar tabs (same website) by using random colors.

you can disable it under internet options --> general --> tab settings.

Only bug I've had with IE8 is that opening a brandnew tab seems to stutter at times for a second or two before it opens. Other than that, I've had a peachy experience.

Do you have Spybot or Spyware Blaster installed?

disabling their immunization made opening tabs extremely fast for me.

Yea, I have spybot. And I use the immunization as an added layer of protection.  I'll try it with that disabled and see how it goes.

Good to hear. Tabs were taking 3-5 seconds to open for me, compared to IE7 opening them instantly. I was considering a re-install.
