My point remains that IE9 is more secure than Chrome and Firefox. Malware authors have to work harder to compromise your system if you’re running IE9 than if you are running any other browser. Nothing you’ve said contradicts this claim.

IE9 uses the least amount of memory of the three. For example, showing this page in one tab, IE9 uses around 70MB, Chrome around 85MB and Firefox around 115MB. Yes, IE9’s JavaScript performance sucks.
Neither Chrome nor Firefox have Smartscreen Filter. Here’s the difference between what Chrome does and what IE9 does when faced with a suspicious download. Chrome and Firefox just jet you go ahead and run the download, while IE9 makes you jump through several hoops with clear warnings before you can run the fiie.
Firefox does not have a sandbox. Chrome’s sandbox has repeatedly been broken.

I still think IE9 is the best day-to-day browser out right now. It is the fastest (though it is let down somewhat by the speed of its networking stack and the fact that it doesn’t pre-cache), the most secure (thanks to smartscreen filter and sandboxing), has a great set of features out of the box (flashblock and adblock built-in), takes up the smallest amount of browser UI chrome and renders everything well.
I keep Firefox and Chrome around for web-development, but my day-to-day browser is IE9.

IE9’s omnibox is better than Chrome’s.

The (somewhat) annoying thing about the Nokia Lumia 900 is that it is only readable outdoors when the display is at a high brightness level, and it takes several seconds for the display to adjust when you go out in sunlight.
When it finally hits max brightness, the display is fantastic. It just takes several seconds to get there.

Slowly but surely, the pieces are coming together. The total range numbers will have to go up—80-90 miles per 20-minute charge is still not quite enough. Make it 150 miles per charge, and I’ll bite. 200-300 miles per charge, and I won’t even look at gasoline vehicles.
