    has anyone tried the beta of Safari for Windows ?

    Yep, I tried it as well and didn't like it.

    It was just loading pages ever so slighlty blurry for some reason. Had a fiddle with settings but it wasnt as sharp as my firefox browser

    removed it and went back to firefox.

    Not as compatible with sites though, due to it more strictly adhering to the w3c standards.

    Opera is my favourite, but it can be a pain sometimes how it is not always compatible. My latest discovery is that I can't use Opera to make an eBay payment via PayPal.

    Hi! Have just started playing with FoxMail which has a much lighter feel, looks nicer and is not as "clunky" as Firefox. Various reviews report it as being better specd than Firefox (despite the names they are nothing to do with each other). So far so good only niggle is that it is a Chinese programme and not for the life of me can I get the help file to read in English

    Foxmail as I understand it is an Email Client and not a Browser !

    Has anyone else noticed this, or am I going mad?
    In IE, if I press the mouse wheel in until it clicks, I get a small cursor in a circle and if the move the mouse up or down, the screen scrolls the same way.
    This doesn't appear to work in Firefox.
    Am I missing something?
