Mozilla 1.5

If anyone was having caching issues with 1.4 then try 1.5. I have just downloaded it and it seems to be working fine.

Try Opera then. It's fast, has mouse gestures for quick browsing, and an integrated Google search bar. I tried Mozilla a while ago and it feels like Netscape, which I don't like too much.

ABM.

Not really being into world domination I would choose anything other than IE.
I am runing Mozilla 1.6a at work no problem.
I am running 1.5 at home which does have some page refresh issues.

Then there is also a nice new Firebird that you can try.

That's the beauty of the internet. Sooo many choices.

Firebird is fantastic, but it too has weird forum stuff going on with it. I don't know why that is.

So even if posts don't show up, I simply refuse to give in and go to the dark, evil IE. It's vile stench makes me gag.

IE is impressive from certain standpoints. I'm constantly amazed by how it takes completely illegible HTML and makes a presentable page out of it. And how it assumes that whatever the page asks for it should get, including unfettered access to your machine.

I'm sure someone could do something similar with Mozilla, truth be told. But with the disproportionately smaller user base, who wants to?

But Phantom, as the old saying goes, a polished turd is still a turd.

A neat overlay to IE doesn't stop it from its awfulness. I'll agree that it has some features that IE needs, but the fact that it's IE...well, I guess it's in my nature to rebel against the empire.

I have to use IE in a few situations, but I try my best to keep those situations to flash progs (I will NOT install a flash plugin to mozilla...who needs the harrassment) and those sad "IE-only" sites, ie, they don't know how to do correct HTML/ASP/PHP code, so they cop out and check the browser version before they let you on the site. Pfft.

Yeah, I've tried out Avant and it doesn't seem any faster than Opera. It has neat features but I use Opera because it's faster and has those neat features.

i have tried opera and it sucks. i use avant and notice a sizeable quickness to it over opera, mozilla and reg IE. Maybe it just depends on your isp and connection type and such. And i regularly remove all spyware and such from my comp and know its none of that crap.
