Your headline is not accurate. "Nearly finalized" is not "out".

Yeah, and 7 was better too. That explains my wife sitting over there cussing her IE all the time because it freezes and crashes. I will eventually get her to use FF, I think....

Yea, that's an intelligent way to rate a browser, the size of the download, you better not go anywhere near Safari, it's 39MB. |

I've been using it since it existed, never had any problems, none of those popups you say are a problem, don't get viruses or malware. A browser is a tool, it does what you tell it to do. Those that need something else to prevent themselves from getting viruses or malware should look at their surfing habits, it's a poor craftsman that blames his tools.

Big bloated code runs slower and is a sign of poor programming design, so yes it is a very valid metric to judge a program. |
