after about 2 hours of using it i can conclude that is is a less attractive version of Fire Fox

FIREFOX ROCKS!!

(was going to put a 'rocking' smiley but i could not be bothered to wait for IE7 to open a new tab



Did i mention its soooooooooooooooo slow???

Never heard of this "opera" browser before. I am downloading it now.
Once upon a time Netscape was preety fast however it then started crashing all the time.I think at some stage they took Microsoft at courts for designing windows to crash their browser or something.
Does anyone use Netscape anymore? :?:

I tried Opera but the free version kept gettin pop-ups. I think Fire Fox is the best. I was using IE7 for about 2 minutes until the novelty wore off and i realised is was crap.

If anybody wants IE7 (not released my microsoft yet) i will be happy to send it to them.

O Mighty Erol, if i am not allowed to do this just say.

erm, well, if MS has not yet released it, then it sounds pretty illegal that you already have it imo....

I think the point is, and it is imo a good general rule of thumb, do not publish your own illegal actvites on a public forum ;)

I aint gonna chuck you off the forum.

It was just a bit of 'friendly advice'. If you are engaged or engaing in 'dodgy' practices then it is probably best not to discuss them on a public forum. I think that was the point city was making and that you asked 'and your point is'.

For the record this forum does not support or condone any such illegal activites :)

It not that CTD. If Micro$oft saw this message, they'd have every right to ask Erolz for your IP number should they wish to take legal action. Should Erolz refuse, then they'd go for option 2 which is contacting Erolz hosts for the relevent info, then make a formal complain about this site.

Sorry for posting my previous post in this thread as it was intended for the "opera" thread. Well this Opera browser seems excellent in opening multiple windows.
I will try Foxy too :-)
