might be worth looking at, it's an alternative to IE like Firefox. Normally the licence costs $39 dollars

    I use opera and I love it :)

    Couple of tips for IE users:

    - Move the tabs bar to the bottom of the screen (so it is like the taskbar in windows - seems a more logical place).

    - Choose small icons for the main bar

    - Use version 7 not 8 - 7 is better

    Queer that worked for me, took a while to load though.
  • Tabs should be at the top- why should they be at the bottom?

    Looks like this got posted on slash-dot and consequently they got slashdotted lol

    I have them at the bottom cos I think of them like the windows taskbar.

    With Opera maximized (which it always is) the row of open web pages sits neatly on top of the windows taskbar.

    If you mean MyIE that became Maxthon, then as far as I know you are using Internet Explorer. Maxthon, like Avant and similar programs are addons to Internet Explorer which add tabbed browsing, popup stoppers etc to it. Having said that IE may work better for you using it with MyIE. I like Avant a lot but am trying out Opera now it's free.
  • Thanks Charlie - much appreciated
