For the past 2 months, Internet Explorer 8 has been acting strange.
When I surf Youtube.com, IE8 is fine for the first 5 min., but then gets slow when opening links.
It eventually hangs when trying to open a video. I even try to make sure that I only have a max of 3 tabs open at any time.
Is anyone aware of the possible cause? Could it be IE8 itself? or 1 of it's settings?
I noticed that IE (with no add-ons) is also a little bit slower than usual.
I've been using Google Chrome as a substitute, which is quite fast and very responsive!
Any help would be very appreciated.
