I have found that a lot of plug-ins for IE are crap. Tool bars are, universally, malware in their own right, and way too easy to get installed if you don't pay close attention. But easily dealth with in the long run - let the crap install, then disable it. That way, the next time you run in to a pre-checked "install this crap" add-on, it's already installed and turned off.
But aside from that, I have never really had much of an issue with it.

I think you missed the part the op said he was using xp and ie 8 the latest versions of ie don't support xp.
And browsing any website is faster with chrome or Firefox has been for a few years now. Ie 9 or 10 might have caught up but they don't support Xp that still 40 % of the world uses specially businesses.
I shifted to chrome from Firefox 2-3 years ago because Firefox used to crash or freeze a lot but now I am addicted to chrome with its sync and login features for Google properties in windows Linux and Android
