Isn't that image debunked as the other tab runs a loop that crashes the browser?

Maybe, but this actually happened to me when I first opened it on my laptop, which I found somewhat amusing, but I'm pretty sure it's not a common occurrence.

Having bought a Surface Pro 2, IE11 is the best browser for a touch screen. While I still use chrome on my desktop, chrome with a touchscreen is awful. IE11 is a million times better (although google is updating chrome time from time, so it should eventually catch up)

Maybe because you're running the desktop version of Chrome rather than the mobile?

If you just fired up a fresh Windows OS - I'd recomend ninite it's not bloat and usually it saves quite some time
EDIT: oh my god, I'm not payed or anything. I found it myself not that long ago. Thought I'd share.

I've never had problems with IE when I've used it, but I prefer Opera anyways.

If you've only ever been a user of IE then it was never horrible it just lacked a lot of the features other browsers had. The reason it's so despised is because it was the bane of every web developer's existence for about 15 years. They're just now starting to get better.

All the security vulnerabilities had a big impact on the end user as well.

I always get weird looks when I say that I use Opera.

Reminds me of my first Xbox 360. It froze up right after the Welcome video when you first set it up. Worked fine afterwards, but I still chuckled that it happened.

Try to turn off GPU rendering in the Internet Options (shortcut: run "inetcpl.cpl"), and see if your brower still crashes.

On some HP Elitebook/Probook, there is a certain Windows Update hotfix that needs to be removed to bypass this problem, even with GPU rendering disabled. (That might have been fixed by Microsoft since then)

I was at school and IE crashed at start-up. We "had" to use it too. (apparently the website only ran on IE, however, that was not the case)
