Internet Explorer 9 might not be better than Google Chrome, but compared to its previous versions, it is a much better browser. It has a faster JavaScript engine, minimal chrome, efficient browsing, download manage and many other useful features. But sooner or later, it seems to become slow for everyone. Open up manage add-ons in Internet Explorer 9. I have a tech friend who works for a different department who help me find the cause of the problem.
It has to do with DNS. When I change it back to auto it returns to 30 seconds. For right now I am going to change everyone in the office to those IP addresses using Group policy until the people who run our DNS servers figure it out. But I found a way to change it using the "netsh" command in a batch file below that I can make the user run in the Group Policy login feature.
I am waiting for approval from my manager. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question. Get answers from your peers along with millions of IT pros who visit Spiceworks. Any ideas?

As far as my browsing experience is concerned, Chrome is still a lot faster than Internet Explorer 9. When it comes to browsing speed, the performance of the rendering or JavaScript engine is negligible. I have said that many times before, and I won't get tired of repeating it. For a knowledge worker like me, other features are by far more important to speed up my daily work on the web. One of the things I do most often with a browser is to bookmark pages.
I need to do this as quickly as possible so I won't lose my focus. With Internet Explorer, I need three clicks; with Chrome, just one. That makes Chrome 10 three times faster than Internet Explorer 9. Often, before I finish work, I check all open tabs to see if there are any pages that I might need the next day. Sometimes I don't remember if I already bookmarked a page or not. This also happens if I again stumble across a useful page. In Chrome, the star icon beside the address bar tells me immediately if I already bookmarked the page; a click on the star shows me which folder the bookmark is in.
In Internet Explorer, I have to browse through my hundreds of bookmarks first for this purpose. This makes Internet Explorer a hundred times slower than Chrome.
Again, the bookmarks. Well, they are important for a knowledge worker. Now, tell me, am I just blind or did the IE developers really forget the search function in the Favorites sidebar? I don't have to tell you how much time it can take to browse through all favorites until finally finding the important one I bookmarked last month, deep down in a folder where it doesn't really belong. How many times slower is Internet Explorer here?
I don't know. Maybe indefinitely, if I don't find the bookmark at all. Okay, this is a minor issue. But it still bothers me. To place the tabs bar at the top of the browser was a very smart idea of the Google developers. Why was Microsoft too anxious to steal this feature and did just waste this valuable space in the title bar? Yes, it means only little additional space for the web page.
However, if you work on laptop or netbook this little extra page can be very valuable, especially if you use web apps often. Scrolling a web page up and down to interact with the web app can get on your nerves and can slow down a browser considerably. The size of the available space for tabs in Internet Explorer is much too small. It usually takes about 20 minutes on a normal work day before I have so many tabs open that I can no longer distinguish them in Internet Explorer simply because the visible part of the HTML title is too small.
You can show the tabs on a separate row right click a tab. However, this takes away even more valuable screen space. Since the default tab bar configuration is no option for a knowledge worker and taking into account the wasted space in the title bar, I have considerably less space available for the web page than with Chrome. These simple layout differences boost Chrome's performance with many web apps on devices with small screens and this without the need of fancy hardware acceleration.
Browsers have become platforms. No, I am not talking about web apps. In general, a speedy upgrade process is important to the development of the Web as a platform. Modern browser features and standards support are only relevant when there is a large installed user base that supports those features. Web developers, web designers, everyone has a shared interest in having their users adopt the latest browser versions.
For Microsoft, this means getting out of the fragmentation hell it is currently enjoying in the web browser area, and although it will take a while, the automated browser upgrades pioneered by Chrome is the way forward. Now they just need people to start upgrading from Windows XP and Windows Vista, or they will be stuck regardless.
