Pop-Up blocker. I have had not a single advertisement since I installed IE9.

You obviously are not looking at enough porn.

But seriously, short of FF completely dieing off, or IE being on the left hand of God, I will not go to IE. I have always been a netscape/FF user for the past 20+ years, and anytime I tried to use any version of IE, it never went well.

I like IE9, it blocks a lot of stuff, and is fast. In tests pusblished in German PC magazines, IE9 scores very well against FF and other browser, and claims to take the lead in speed and safety.

That alone is reason enough for me never to contemplate going back to IE of any flavour.
I can never find/use anything in IE as well as I can in FF; maybe it's just what I'm used to, but there you go.
However there is one thing IE absolutely excels at - without doubt, no questions asked, IE is the best browser for downloading a better browser. Oh, and doing the occasional windows update.

It's not that I'm a FF fanboy, I just don't like IE and never have done.

My 7 is not updating the IE to 9. Checking for update results in nothing too? Do I have to manually download IE 9?
