A fast fix for IE8 crashes, slowdowns | |

Ed Bott: Is Internet Explorer 8 acting sluggish or crashing regularly? The problem might be a corrupted add-in. And one of the most likely candidates is the widely used Adobe Flash Player. In this post, I’ll explain how you can troubleshoot IE8 performance issues by completely removing the Flash Player and temporarily disabling all other add-ons.

| Firefox is a good fix for IE8. :p |

I use the Fox too but get used to a Chrome vs. IE8 world. FF is already dead; I'm sure everyone who works for them knows it. It's just a matter of time before Google pulls out and they slowly starve. The only way this scenario would change is if Bing/MS came to the rescue (Which it might). |

#2 Exactly...
Ironically it might be Microsoft that helps FF in the long run, especialy if FF can get MS to take a side in the HTML5 video arguments that Google and Apple are using to control the web through licensing. Google is a really 'evil' company if you just look at what they did to FF. After using them and getting extra browser search data from them for years, they then turn around and throw them to the curb, not only with Chrome, but in putting their backing behind standards that hurt smaller companies. Sadly people didn't notice when their email was being data mined and Google was gobbling up all the Ad revenue of the Internet, which they now control. Even Apple is now starting to reconsider Google's ethics, which is like Jim Jones being concerned that someone else is controling people's minds. (Sadly that analogy is a bit too true, as Apple's advertising goes into NLP and psychological areas that most ad agencies and companies self govern themselves from crossing over into, as it is too manipulative.) Anyway.. As this article points out, Flash is a bastard for all browsers and is the #1 add-in that crashes IE8. From Flash ads to even Flash video content, it will bring down IE8 faster than anything, and can even throw some systems into a multi-core/SMP sync crash because of how poorly Flash tries to multi-thread itself. Flash based lockups/crashes are not limited to IE8 though, but considering how stable IE8 with Flash disabled is, it is a shame that Flash is creating a bad experience for people, when crashes and lockups should be a thing of the past 99.99% of the time. Sadly, Adobe STILL will not fix their threading issues, even though people like myself have been screaming at them since 9.0 added the bastardized threading code. (HT processors get hurt the most, like older P4s and new i7s or Atoms.) Adobe right now is making Silverlight look really good, as it is extremely stable, has had no security issues and runs faster, especially at decoding video. PS Another fix on some systems is to disable the HW Acceleration in the Flash Add-in. (Right click on Flash content and try turning it off). This at least removes the GPU based issues Flash has. |

Those novices who use Chrome are doing so because of the name Google attached to it.
Question is how long will there be a Chrome browser since after the Chrome OS is released, will there still be a stand-alone browser? Every browser has vulnerability issues. SANS reported another Chrome browser vulnerability recently. FireFox 3.5 has had 7 updates - that's at least 7 vulnerabilities in it's short life. Firefox 3.0 had at least a dozen updates in maybe just over a year. |
