Well, after deciding to retire IE once again, I remebered Netscape..! LoL, anyway, I decided to give it another go, since not using it for the past last 2 years.. to my surprise, its damn good..! I think Netscape might be back onto something..!

It also features a new security feature, which runs IE on whitelist sites, and Firefox on all others.. http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/ ... 884,00.asp

NOTE: the article claims the following, which is NOT true..
QUOTE...nor does the new browser let you list the sites that are permitted to install software or load images, as Firefox does.


When either Netscape or someone else gets around to de-bloating it, I'll be onboard all the way..!

Sigh...

Since I grabbed a copy of that new optimized build...Man, Firefox is just the 1337...I DO dig Netscape though...But, unless I am testing something...I rarely even think to open a new browser...

Nothing will take me away from Firefox.

Yea...I'm the same way jdog, but I did say that about IE until I actually tried Firefox. Who knows...maybe the same thing will happen here

Netscape and IE are more popular, hence more attractive to people looking for exploits. Netscape is better than IE though, for sure.
