Fastest web browser?

[KeithD]

I prefer IE8 but right now I'm using Chrome most of the time as IE8 on this particular 64 bit system just can't bleeding remember any passwords for more than 5 minutes, still can't find out what's going on and I just don't have the time to figure it out anymore.

This problem is not isolated to my machine at home I get it at work as well on a 32 bit system, absolute pain in the butt.

You have to switch it ON in security! It is OFF by default for....erm...security reasons

No Keith, I don't want IE to offer to remember passwords or have it auto fill username password fields, I always turn that off!

The problem is that site data that should be getting stored in cookies is getting wiped, at random!

Sometimes the cookie will persist for a while, maybe a day, then next day it forgets everything every 5 minutes it's inconsistent and not behaving the way IE7 or earlier behaved.

Just did it to me now Opened IE8 it went to my iGoogle home page, 5 minutes later I clicked on the second tab and hey presto I'm not signed into google anymore, new page opens with google default asking me to sign in top right.

Actually now I'm getting really paranoid because as I was typing this I had the correctly signed in iGoogle tab open in the IE instance in the background, as I was typing this message here in Chrome the IE instance SIGNED OUT AND REFRESHED THE PAGE ON IT'S OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

This is happening on more than one machine I am sure my machines are clean no viruses etc.

I'm gonna stick to Chrome till someone at Microsoft figures this out, I should maybe escalate this issue with them I guess.
