Same. If IE offered the same extensions and plugins I wouldn't even be using chrome right now. But I like their 'save password' feature aswell, but I reckon IE has something similar

Your IE might be faster since you don't have as much extensions as you have on chrome. My chrome is faster since I dont have a lot of extensions

These are things stopping me

  1. UI
  2. password naaa (i use lastpass)
  3. extension availability
  4. Annoying security pop ups  
  5. few more can't remember at the moment

I like the UI, I think it's clean

Most probably because i got used to chrome and firefox

as they are so similar

I'd say that IE is really becoming a viable option as a web browser, now for them to update their look...

Oh yeah, Chrome eats memory, that's why I stopped using it since my old rig days. Also, when I had multiple tabs open, some running music, some streams I had problems where the tab that I wasn't on would stutter and lag on Chrome while of FF that never happened.

Yeah but hardware isn't really the problem here, it's more about tweaking possibilities,  and extension/plugin availability

I agree, but at the given moment, for me, hardware was the problem. But anyways, in terms of extensions/plugins nothing comes close to Chrome and FF for now (sadly).

IE is not bad at all. On tablets it runs super fast and on WP8 too, I actually downloaded 3rd party browsers on my WP8 and found the super slow compared to IE. :)

No,  I don't like IE.   I find Internet And IE have more constant speeds while Chrome is faster at times but at other times is horrible slow.  Also, I just wouldn't use internet explorer.  for me at least its not even worth opening unless you need another browser.
