Oh, Internet Explorer, How I Loathe Thee!

[Bob Schroeck]

I'm using IE9 at work; I have IE10 at home but I don't use it -- I use Seamonkey, which is the Mozilla open-source successor to the old Netscape Suite. Seamonkey's browser shares its codebase with Firefox but is different in a few ways, I understand. All I know is that I can open dozens of tabs in rapid succession and my system won't even notice a load; IE9 on the other hand brings my entire machine to a screeching halt if I open more than three or four. Example: The EPU forums. Opening more than one topic off the "New Messages" page in IE immediately freezes my machine, every time, for upwards of 20 or 30 seconds -- and I'm not viewing the entire thread, either, just the top post.
