I'm running a old version of IE 8 and I would like it to stop opening a new tab and bring me to "time to Upgrade your Browser. and please don't tell me that I should upgrade, the pc im using IE 8 on is for test and stuff. and thank you for your tips

Security patches with nags. https://www.google.com/#q=ie+nag+to+upgrade

This is now in the public discussions out there so I'll stick with my solution. Using other than IE. In fact I only run IE to test when folk tell me a page doesn't work in IE. Chrome and Firefox work fine here.
