IE 6.0 Sucks???
How many people out there think that IE 6 is the most worthless browser microsoft has put out? I think that it is the slowest thing that I have ever used. I hate it!!! I have DSL and pages open up like in using dial-up.

I never had any problems with IE 5. I liked it personally but now that I am using XP I hate IE!!! It is very slow, and its not my connection. Others in my network are using Opera and they say that it burns like a bat out of hell.
IE6 is definetly better then previous versions of IE. it's a lot faster and MAYBE more stable - i do not use it often.
Am i missing something here? If it is suposedly faster why then is mine running so slow? Does anyone running it under XP think that it is fast also? Do I have to enable fast speed or something? (That was a joke)
what r ur specs?
maybe its ur config thats slowing everything down.

Over here I.E is starts up pretty slow sometimes, and some website like team xbox' forum is very slow to browse (going from page to page)

I'd say its about the same as 4, 5, and 5.5, haven't found anything to be excited about in it, nor anything to be deeply disappointed about. I doesn't crash on me so I see no reason to go back to an older version. In short, its a maintenance release the marketing dept. tries to present as new.
Bobbinbrisco.....What specs do you want to know?
It seems as if I have a pron;em now doesn't it. Can anyone give me some advise as to how to make it fast?
in that case give other browsers a go. i highly reccommend Opera 5.12 . Although it doesn't handle SOME javascripts as well as IE, it definitely is no memory hog and "is the fastest browser on earth".

I've had no probs with IE5 or 6 and I much prefer 6 as if you dont install Java Virtual Machine then most adverts go away. No problems with speed and I'm only running an Athlon 500
Try a clean install or something. Then only put on apps that you need.

i hate it. it brings almost no new features compared to IE5.5. Also, is there a way to customize cookie settings for each zone like you can in IE5x? Restricted sites zone is excellent for popup ridden domains but you have to allow it to use cookies because it will break a few sites otherwise.
