If you’re still using MS Internet explorer, why? Do yourself a favour and start using Google Chrome. Why? Let me tell you:

Google Chrome is an almost complete ground up web browser design, making much better usage of memory management:

With the current versions of Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, individual Web page tabs are hosted in a single process – a model that is efficient (in terms of memory and resource consumption) but also prone to catastrophic failures: A single crashed tab can easily take down the entire browser application. Chrome seeks to eliminate this problem by isolating each tab within its own application process, then leveraging the built-in memory protection capabilities of modern, preemptively multitasking operating systems to keep code and data in a failing tab from stomping on other processes. So now, when that buggy Flash applet on your favorite humor site goes belly up, it won’t necessarily take down the entire browser – the processes running in other tabs will keep chugging along.

Google Chrome is very fast:

On each one of these tests, Chrome clearly trounced the competition. I hope benchmarking experts and developers will weigh in with comments about how well these tests represent true JavaScript performance on the Web–either for ordinary sites or for rich Web apps.

Google Chrome is very secure:

Google’s Chrome was the only browser left standing—and in fact, was completely untested. None of the researchers at the competition even tried to attack Chrome… Google’s sandboxing shouldn’t be impenetrable, but it is sufficient to make the standard harmless exploit payload—starting up Windows calculator—harder to do.

MSIE just doesn’t have what it takes to run Google Wave:

Google Wave depends on strong JS and DOM rendering performance to provide a desktop-like experience in the browser. HTML5′s offline storage and web workers will enable us to add great features without having to compromise on performance. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer, still used by the majority of the Web’s users, has not kept up with such fairly recent developments in Web technology.

But if you are stuck with uncompromising IT staff or your own ignorance, then you can install the Google Chrome Frame into MSIE for a Wave experience by logging into Wave.
