IE8 compatibility and leaks links
Microsoft has their IE8 compatibility page here at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/readiness/developers.aspx
There is a useful discussion in the forum at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/iewebdevelopment/thread/772e4b07-29e1-4909-b77f-f61c503f9579
A long-standing resource is quirksmode.org at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/intro.html
David Hammond's webdevout.net shows no blog post since July 24, 2009 at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/intro.html but still has a lot of information.
The wikipedia quirks_mode article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode is also useful.
Here are 2 links on Internet Explorer and memory leaks due to closures with circularities impeding GC:
Understanding and Solving Internet Explorer Leak Patterns
Circular Memory Leak Mitigation
At least msdn one page suggested by David Flanagan in the rhino book is now missing.

4 Windows Browsers
I use Opera 10, Safari or Chrome or IE8 or Prism when I am not in a browser from those I am working on at aule-browsers.com
Opera has the smallest footprint at startup on my XP box ( I use Epiphany on linux) and I stopped using Firefox when it began to choke and bloat on my large set of bookmarks. Opera behaves well on a few sites where IE8 misbehaves and vice-versa. When all else fails I turn to Chrome or Safari (Opera is also the only one that passes w3c Acid3 on this box - but Safari does warm the room with its updates.)
Here are 4 other Windows browsers that you might want to consider:
Avant at http://www.avantbrowser.com/
TheWorld at http://www.ioage.com/en/index.htm
Wyzo 3 at http://www.wyzo.com/
SlimBrowser at http://www.flashpeak.com/sbrowser/
The latter offers to build your site-specific browser, so I will be happy to submit a competitive bid if that is your need!
