ie finally gets built-in popup blocking...

Isn't google toolbar spyware or something?

Yep!!

Asher: I knew you'd come round to KDE anyway.

In all seriousness, I concede its not as good as XP or OSX interface, but in the space of a couple of years its come on fantastically well.

It's not spyware really, because it tells you in very big letters in very plain english before you download the version that requires you send data to Google for pagerank to work.

If you don't want that, download the one clearly marked as not sending information back to google.

There's no need to spread misinformation.

I've been using KDE for 3 years. What the hell are you talking about?

I never knew that. Useful.

Doesn't it use MSN Search, not google? Anyway, it doesn't really matter. They're both good.

If only stock IE had the other search options that Opera has on the toolbar I could cross something off my "Op3r4 0wnZ I3" list that all Opera zealots have tatooed onto their chests. I hate doing that, though: it always takes ages for the bleeding to stop. I believe Mac zealots have a similar list, which is why they always resist your arguments so strongly.

Hmmm ... I don't know why I said that. How peculiar. I guess this means it's time for bed.

Default is MSN.
Mine is Google.ca

I think that is the default setting, but can be changed.

Great, a cross post half an hour later

That's what you get when you leave tthe window open to watch Frasier and don't refresh when coming back.

Opera has ... google-search-on-toolbar, etc?

Yep. Google Groups search is although available, though you have to hack the config files if you want the other Google variants (strangely enough, Google Images is available from the combo-box searcher, but isn't included by default in the individual search-box palette).

[Q Classic]

not only does opera have google-search-on-toolbar, but you can access it from the address bar by typing "g" before your search terms:

g apolyton civilization site

that's default behavior. you can also add in other search features to access from the address bar; i've renamed the default google image search prefix, ggi, to just gi.

hey, panag, asher: i don't care who the fvck started it this time, and i don't give a fvcking damn as to which one is better, mac or windows. it's gotten to the point where you guys are just cockfighting, and i don't want to read that sh|t in this thread.
if you guys are going to argue about which fvcking thing is better, just argue about browsers, for chrissake. not blasted osses.
