# IE6?
That was a nightmare. IE7 is a massive improvement but IE6 utterly refused to conform to web standards, so you had to code around its problems, so the whole internet was slower as a result.

There's some truth in there :)

It's dull and uninspired. I don't trust it.

On the plus the process thing is a great plus. For ever tab open it runs a small process for it. If that tab dies or crashes the rest of the browser is unaffected. Similarily if one tab/process runs something malicious you can get rid of it all in one.
