Microsoft are claiming that the RC of IE9 is now the world's fastest and safest browser. We're heard all of this before of course, but maybe this time they've got it right? At 35% faster than the beta version the RC may well be quicker now than anything else, but what about the safety? I guess only time will tell on this one as the hoards of hackers around the planet search for the next vulnerability.

Thanks for the extra link
![]() Some might argue that Microsoft are only reaching now where they should have been years ago, but it still remains to be seen how "secure" IE9 is.

If i remember correctly then ie8 was the most secure browser...so i guess ie9 must also follow its footsteps...
more conclusive result we will know with tests when ie9 and ff4 come out of beta

I am a long time Firefox user and can't see me changing from that. However, I always have IE installed as an alternative browser in case I need it for a particular website. I have just installed IE9, and I don't know about its security (will still mainly use FF anyway), but IE9 really is blindingly fast. Much faster than FF.

I am using FF4B11 and IE9RC. I do not see any considerable difference in speed. And why would I? Internet speed cannot be influenced by any browser. They can only use different strategies of how to deal with the data. IE9 as far as I can tell waits til most of the objects have arrived locally, then displays it from local cache. It seems to be very fast then of course. But I definitely notice the wait time too. Put that on top and it is as fast (or at least close to) as other browsers are.
Safety and most of all W3C compatibility is much more important. I appreciate the effort MS is putting into IE in that regard. Compared to older releases IE9 is surely ahead of its predecessors.
