Try Mozilla Firefox Browser.... you'll never use IE again.... mozilla.com

I don't use IE more than once in a blue moon anyway. I've now changed the
settings so that links I click on go straight to AOL's browser not IE. Very
occasionally something, usually video clips, won't work in that which is the
only time I resort back to IE.

So why is it that you think that Netscape Navigator is so much worse than NCSA
Mosaic then?

One of the issues with browsers in general, and Firefox in particular, is the
way they interpret HTML code that is already out there. New stuff is being
written so that Firefox shows it the same as IE and Opera, but we had to rewrite
a lot of our webpages so that Firefox would show it 'properly'.
Some of the problems lay with IE and how it bent the rules of showing HTML, and
everyone else followed that, but Firefox rigidly stuck to the coding rules and
there were many problems.
Some of our older webpages are not Firefox compliant, and there is a note to
that effect on the first page.

I was merely talking about the program, the GUI and the coding that
calls the render engine if you like, not the render engine it's self -
which is fine, wish IE would use it, being open-source and all that!

When are you going to try them? You cannot have tried a recent version
and compared it to the latest IE.

IE7 is a total crock. Used Firefox for years but its become memory-hogging
bloatware especially if you use multiple tabs. Reputedly Firefox 3 will fix
this but its only in Beta and, as is the way of such projects, much of the
potential content will probably not make the cut.

ISTR that IE7 only runs on XP and Vista?

A month or so back, are you suggesting that FF have completely
rewritten the software, that would be the only way they could get rid
of the 'clunky' nature of FF, as for IE7 - totally agree, it's a pile
of pooh, some of which is being caused by trying to compete with all
that is bad in FF... If I wanted to drop IE and would either opt for
Opera or run another box running Linux for office and (most) browsing
needs.

Well, I've been using what is now seamonkey for years, and I find it does
what I want. nor do I find it "clunky", whatever that may mean.
Opera is pretty good but fails on one important (to me) feature, the ability
to have separate user profiles.
