        I use MyIE2 (now Maxthon). I try Firefox 1.0 but it's not better than than Maxthon and is too slow to start. A few ago I use Opera and was good but not for every site. Maybe the new versions....

        But Maxthon is good to me: tabs, mouse gestures, you know, all the stuff. Fast and compatible (I feel like an used cars seller )

          I used MyIE2 a year ago. It's decent, but it's still IE.

              I've been against IE ever since a real competitor has come out for it.

                <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
                "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
                For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

                  Or maybe I'm someone who can judge software on its utility and value more than anything else.

                    asher's always been for firefox.

                    and wow, great letter! it's just behind the curve by about, what, two, three years?

                    most people in the know have been running with opera, firefox, or mozilla for a long while now. :yawn:

                          The 'Softies don't lose anything by us not running MSIE anyway, do they? We still pay for it when we buy Windooze, and that's all that should matter to them.

                            The point of IE was to combat the potential threat of "Netscape" becoming a platform, like Windows. That was Netscape's stated objective.

                            I don't think they really care much about web browsers, but potential Windows competition is what they're concerned about.

                              I still use IE.

                              Works well for me.

                                My bank's site doesn't work in opera, but it works just fine in firefox. Same with Gmail.
