One of the reasons I'm still running IE9 though I'm also having to run FireFox for some sites that are no longer compatible with IE9 (like my bank and the site I use to create a client's online store).
 
Gotta love progress.  NOT.



I think I've rolled back IE10 four or five times for various reasons Craig. It doesn't seem to like my computer for some reason. On the first couple of occasions I went back to IE8 but as you mention, compatibility is often a problem when you haven't got the latest version.
 
I actually quite like IE10, especially as it's the first version of IE that flags up spelling mistakes, and offers corrections via right click.
 
I tried IE11, but there are a couple of things I'm not too fond of. Firstly, the Compatibility button never appears in the address window - the only way to toggle it on and off is through the Tools menu. Also, I occasionally use F12 to bring up the Developer Tools as in IE10 this allows you to temporarily choose IE7, IE8 or IE9 Browser Mode. In IE11, the F12 stuff has been completely reworked, and (last time I checked) there is no option to change the browser mode.
 
I quite like Google Chrome, especially the way Tabs work compared to IE or Firefox. The only reason I stick with IE is because I use the Google Toolbar a lot, and for some unfathomable reason, you can't install the Google Toolbar in Google Chrome

Hi Steve, just to let you know, in Chrome - the address bar, also known by Google as the Omnibox, actually doubles as a Google toolbar, so it makes sense that you cant install a Google toolbar as the functionality is already there, if you don't start an entry with www.
Generously (chortle) it can also be configured to act as a search bar for other engines too if you want.
 
Cheers
