what about AVANT BROWSER anyine use that ... i have been on it for over 2 years now or so .. and i think it is a nice little pop up stopper and i keep my pages on here all the time until i wanna shut down .. i click save all open pages and exit.
when i come on next time i open it up and all the pages i had open before come up ... and then i minimize them and work on some that i have up ... there is short cuts.. like "M" is for www.midwestxterraowners.com and "X" os for www.xterraownersclub.com well if you have it the only thing i would like to see on it is a MINIMIZE all that would be kick ass....

thanks and talk to you later...

I actually prefer Mozilla, to mozilla firefox, but that's because I use the features that mozilla provides. if I were to just want to browse firefox would do just fine. I also find that pages do load faster with mozilla over IE, but that could just be me wishing it was faster.

I love Firefox. How can anyone not like tabbed browsing? I have a 43" DLP TV "monitor" and would still run out of space on the taskbar if it weren't for tabs. Didn't know about the media tab - will have to check that out sometime.

Been running on K-Meleon today. I don't have any real opinions yet. I read an article, it seems to be based on a lot of Firefox code. Here

I've been using it for months and love it. the tabbed browsing is great. The bookmark manager is great. The calendar is great. There are lots more great extensions available as well.

When your workflow for years has involved frequent use of ALT-TAB for just about everything (going between folders, apps like Photoshop or Illustrator, pulling up a reference image or two in IE, and whatever else), the tabs are a huge nuisance.

Plus they're redundant, XP's bar already categorizes things when it starts getting full. I used Firefox for a month and hated it. Maybe I'm a loser for it, but I'm happy to stick with Microsoft for just about everything. So, I'm hoping IE7 has an easy way to turn it off so I don't get mired with what I see as a horrible flaw and an unacceptable break in workflow.

Firefox Drawbacks.

BIG NUMBER 1. Update SUCKS! ASS! Why does it have to download and install a completely new version each time they fix something? Why does the update not cleanup it's mess and uninstall the old versions. I currently have 1, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, and 1.04 on my workstation (well I don't after I manually un-installed the previous versions).

2. Bookmarks still get corrupted sometimes.

3. Gifs don't animate "properly"

4. Movie plugins suck, Constant hang ups and glitches when playing streaming videos etc..

That said. I use them both, and have never had a major issue with popups, spyware, viruses etc.. Common Sense is the key.

For those of you who say "I have no popups in FF" you don't browse the web a lot. Go to snopes.com and see if anything happens......

I have been using it on occasion. The one thing I dont like is that it doesnt play msn video. Always asks for the WMP plugin, (which I have)

I do like the different themes, (I use the walnut) but it doesnt seem to be any faster than IE. I can take it or leave it.

TremorX its right about alt-tab... last night I was doing that with 18 "tabs" in firefox... [Geek]

Well, may be we shouldn´t fall in love with any browser... it is known that Google its working in a browser (Google registered gbrowser.com) and Ben Goodger, design engineer of Firefox, its working at Google ...
