Can someone point me to the latest browser distribution on the planet? Last check it was 50-50 tussle between IE and non-IE (If I can call it this way) browsers.

  Distribution of browser installs, browser users, or site visits by browsers? The numbers for those three look quite different from each other....

I'd consider using it again, but the UI is just so ugly. Maximized, it has a useless border at the top of the window for no reason (which hurts on low res laptop screens). And in general, the tabs are next to the URL, so you never get to see a remotely full title or URL. And, to top it off, the URL/tab part looks like a dev preview. It doesn't look like anyone took time to make that part look pixel perfect. For general purpose use, I'd expect all modern browsers to deliver a generally decent experience, so the actual chrome is relevant. On top of that, IE10 has no plugin model, so getting basics like privacy and ad blocking - there's just no reason to use IE10 outside of specific demos.

  IE10 has a smaller chrome at the top than both Chrome, and Firefox. I hear you on the plugins though.

    But that's because it puts the tabs and address bar on one line, which as GP says, has problems of its own.

    IE10 only has a smaller chrome when windowed. When maximized, it has the same (within a couple px) top chrome, but combines tabs and nav into one, so the chrome is actually less useful. It's mind-boggling that MS shipped something with so little polish.
