Internet browser

Which browser is everyone using? I typically use Chrome, but I can't get the DPI fix to work for me. IE looks great, but the bookmark bar for the desktop version is too small and it isn't particularly touch friendly. I also don't see that the IE touch browser is installed.

You need to set IE as your default browser in order to use it as a Modern UI App. This is the touch IE browser.

To answer your initial question, I use Modern IE exclusively when not connecting another monitor. When connecting an additional monitor and a mouse, I use both Modern IE (on Surface) and Desktop IE/Google Chrome on the connected monitor.

Have you tried Chrome Canary? And tweak the settings like this?

I use IE touch for everything if I can. If not, I use Firefox. I stay away from Google as much as possible.

If you have other browsers set as default, I don't believe Modern IE is available.

“Touch Optimized UI”

Is not listed in the flags of my version of Chrome [36.0.1985.84 Beta-m]

Is there a different version of the chrome beta, have they already integrated it into the latest beta, or do I have some weird transitory issue with my browser?

Setting the default to Internet Explorer worked (seems pretty dumb that it has to be the default to use it though). I'll also download the Chrome Canary browser.

As much I like Chrome. IE is the best experience for me on Surface pro tablet.

However, Metro UI IE suffer page reload when swipe to the right to go previous page. That is super annoying have to reload page every time. Somehow using back space is not having issue nor using desktop version of IE.

Who is this useful for? I use Chrome on an extended 20" monitor and have never noticed any problems. Just wondering if there's something I'm missing out on lol.

Just switched to Chrome canary. Works extremely well.

I love chrome, and kind of need it, but it makes me pull my hair out. I for the life of me can't get flash to work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, done all of that with no help. Very frustrating to have to open certain pages in IE just to use it.

Well, I'm happy with IE in both interfaces.
