Re: What browser do you use?

Mozilla Firefox, but use IE6 for those sites which don't work on Firefox.

Everyone else who uses a good, secure, stable, feature-packed and standards compliant browser can type "about:config" (without the underscore) into the location bar to access hundreds of settings.

Re: What browser do you use?

I also use IE 6 and have no desire for a foreign browser on my computer. I also changed the number of connections that IE use to something like 1000. It will therefore use up to 1000 concurrent connections to open a website... Pictures load REALLY fast now. I see no need to use any other browser.

I use Proxomitron proxy server as a filter. It removes all banners, ads, crap scripts, popups, and it deactivates sneaky things such as preventing clicking of the right mouse button etc.

Combining it with IE I really see no need for other browsers.
