    Opera kicks !!!!!! :-)

    I've used it now for about 5 years and it's much better than IE as it's faster and much much more secure. Very occasionaly something doesn't work and you have to fire up IE but that's because the web site designer has not designed the site properly!

    Just thought i should say I'm on the Beta program for IE 7 and it's a huge improvement over IE 6 in terms of security. Also, bear in mind that a lot of applications use IE for their interface so you'll never really be able to move away from it. People use IE rather than embedded Firefox because it lets you do so much more programatically, hence the security issues.

    I think MS have got it right in version 7, hopefully it'll be released soon.
    ... and that's all I have to say about that.

    Site is returning 'blank' registration details for me (IE & Firefox). Have their free serials 'run out'. I wonder ?

    Managed to get it last night :T.

    So far, I find it better than Firefox but I have one question...

    How do you increase the font size on web pages? View -> Zoom is all I could find but it increases the size of graphics as well making them look pixelated.

    By the way: Thanks dellboy102!
