There's no such thing as a stupid question, but people can sure ask them in a stupid way

IE, but that doesn't mean I'm an M$ fanboy does it?

Well yes it does, considering you have a sig promoting IE.
Here's a hint, you have a big blue E in that image...

Give it 6 months and you'll be in the minority of people who are promoting IE against the behemoths that are Mozilla and Opera.

Oh, you need more proof?
Well how about this?

You haven't seen this since 1998...

Richard, you don't get it. I like IE as it WORKS, other browsers don't work for me. I'm NOT (repeat) NOT an M$ fanboy for the following reasons:

Prices of there software is far too high
Loads of problems with there operating system software

OK?

So why support M$ by using their software?
Why not hit 'em where it hurts by using a better browser?

BTW - I've yet to come across a website which doesn't work in Firefox and that includes my online banking with Natwest.

I just said in my last post:

They don't work well for me.

Just installed Maxthon as well--a very fast browser
But I still prefer IE as I know how to customize the toolbar myself with my own designs and I can customize the buttons with Y'z toolbar

Yeah, because every web developer n00b codes for IE by dragging and dropping in Dreamweaver and this suits the n00bs who use these sites.
Even in work, I write ASP.NET code but if it doesn't work in Firefox I bin it.
Why? because HTML is a standard, and every browser should render it in exactly the same way.

Why do you think I created a Mobile version of the UT Clan website?
If that was done M$ style, it would take half an hour to load...without the CSS it looks lovely on a mobile phone, and it is quite readable on any device, desktop computers, PDAs, etc...

I'm not talking about the websites, I'm talking about the software it's self.

Wooohooo, at least somebody else on this forum that recognises Maxthon/MyIE2 for what it's worth. (BTW technically it's not a complete browser as it's a wrapper for IE)

It had tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, built in ad blocker, loads of plugins, proxy list setups,all sorts of great features before Firefox.

Seriously though, Browsers are one of those emotive subjects, like Politics, becareful discussing them,as the situation can easily become inflamed.

Avant Browser is NOT a browser, it's just an IE skin.
