Hi, all!
It's nice to be back on Eight Forums for a day.
What is your favorite metro browser? (correct me if metro's name changed again, I'll stick with metro for now! )
Here's some info on a few:
Mozilla Firefox Preview for Windows 8
Firefox has come to the preview phase of there new browser, with nightly builds and a new interface. In my opinion, it may have been better integrated into the OS than Chrome's "desktop oriented" transfer.
Chrome for Metro
Chrome is on a variety of devices, including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and now, 8. It is almost a replica of the desktop edition, just without a top (menu bar, minimize, maximize, close). Instead of focusing on tablets, Chrome Metro wants to make it usable for PC users and bigger buttons for tablet users, actually quite simple.
Internet Explorer 10
IE 10 was built for touch, with almost as many experiments as Chrome just to show off Microsoft's new browser.
A Test Project
Yes, the whole browser is almost entirely new in Metro form, but the desktop edition looks almost identical to its predecessor.
So, what do you think?

Mozilla Firefox Preview for Windows 8
For those of you running the 64-bit RTM release of Windows 8, you can now download a nightly build of Mozilla Firefox from the Elm development branch and start testing. Elm is the experimental repository where most of our Metro development work has been happening. This repository produces nightly builds, much like the Firefox Nightly channel. Once installed, these builds will self-update so that you can track Metro Firefox development.
