For those that don't need all the tweaks that other browsers allow you and just need ad block, here's a great article on how to block ads in IE that was just posted today at wpcentral.

Why do people incessantly use 3rd party browsers and complain about performance?

I've noticed this too recently with the last couple updates. Maybe a good thing for those that are accidentally triggering the button while inking. Not good for anyone else though.

That is good to know and makes sense. This should be in the tips section to refrain from applying too much pressure on the camera area.

That's pretty cool. Too bad I don't use one of those anymore. I have a Roku 3. Hopefully Roku will jump of the bandwagon.

Anything to report yet?

I actually had a bit of a scare yesterday where mine wouldn't boot either. I tried holding down volume up with power and volume down too. Nothing worked until I tried both volume up and down with power for a few seconds and it came on. Everything fine now.

Get the accidental insurance. It's worth it. Especially with a $1000 device. You're paying $200 total to wash your hands of the broke one. I wouldn't want to continue using a repaired one.

My old Surface 2 replaced my laptop and tablet both as I could always remote into my desktop. I got the SP3 because of the extra use, pen, and awesome kickstand. I really didn't need it, just wanted it. If rumors are true of a Surface 3 with same stand and pen, I might go back to one of those...

I had that problem. I now use LastPass as a cloud backup on desktop IE for sensitive sites, like banking. Other sites like forums, I just let IE save those now. So easy to just let IE manage those. Easily the best decision I've made so far as those passwords follow me on all my devices now. No...

There is no option to do that.

I recommend everyone to avoid Chrome at all costs until they fix the battery drain. IE11 immersive is just the better touch browser. Period. Buttery smooth and good battery life.

For those with issues with ads, are you talking about pop-ups? If so, if you go to internet options and under the privacy tab, if you click on popup settings, you have an option at the bottom to set low, medium and high. High works great for me and eliminates a lot of popup ads that come from...

Another vote for Plex. It just works.

Think of it this way...dark theme = more battery conservation.

Yeah, someone please make a dark theme. The 9 forums have one using the same version. We should just easily have one too.

For those that are having battery issues, I had a feeling this was due to users who installed Chrome. I've never had to install Chrome on my Surface because I can do everything I need on IE. So I've never experienced this kind of battery drain.

I don't know what i'm using at work. I have no problems at home with my standard issue ATT gateway. It's only G, but it shows full connectivity at 54 at home.

I had horrible backlight bleed on my Asus Transformer. It didn't really bother me though and I kept it all the way through Jelly Bean roms. That whole android experience with constantly tweaking and lag pushed me away and I had to let go. I wasn't going to Apple because they had nothing to offer...

It was quite odd seeing that. Kind of like what Apple is trying to do with messaging and design in IOS7. It's like they're slowly transforming it into Windows 8.1/WP8. Controlling my whole phone, not only messaging can already be done on my SP3, albeit with a usb cord using WP 8.1 and Project...
