I stuck with IE thru 6 and 7. I then downloaded 8, and after one day, I made the switch to Firefox. The thing that pushed me over the edge was the "compatibility" button in IE8, that a user is expected to push when their favorite website won't load. After struggling to view some google sites I frequent, the insanity of it struck me. Then there is the equally insane meta tag, that I now need to put on my site, to ensure IE8 users view my pages in IE7. IE8 seems to struggle with complex Javascript sites. And lastly, then I looked up benchmarks for Browsers. IE8 is far behind the Firefox. IE8 is supposedly 35% faster then IE7, but that is little incentive to stay with it, considefing Firefox is something like 5X faster.
