I have tried just about all the (good) browser available, and every one has something to offer, but i've settled on avant browser. Very simple, customisable, stable (it does have some issues with pages hanging now and again, but the updates are rather frequent and the associated forums are an excellent source of information and very helpful, plus if you do have to shut it down and restart after a hang, it very kindly gives you the option to load back up all the pages you had open at the time.)

Since it is basically a shell for I.E there are no compatability issues at all. As for pop ups, what are those again? :p The blocker on this is first class, is updated with each release and has hot key overriding.

All in all it's a small efficient browser which i am more than happy with. But your best best is to do what i am sure most people have done, download a few, spend a little time with each and see what suits you best.

I don't mean to get anyones back up with this comment, but searching does have a purpose if it's not really "opinions" you are looking for, but since new browsers are released just about every day, if this question was asked a month ago and wasn't asked again after that time, then you could be missing out on many new releases buy reading old posts.

Searching does serve a purpose, but in many instances unless you are looking for rather old opinions or news then it's quite redundant to use that function.

Anyway....if you've seen the question asked before and don't want to answer, simply don't open the thread. Many people didn't get to have their say first time around anyway. And a lot of people are quite happy to answer the same questions again (generally because new answers arrive each day.)

My 2 cents.....good luck in finding what you want.

I would have to say Firebird..OH GREAT BROWSER GODS DID SMILE UPON THEE!!! lol yeah I think its that good, and this is coming from a former Opera Extremist. Firebird is customizable times a million, that way you get just want you want in a browser without bloat, and it works flawlessly. Oh and its fast too! There are tons of good browsers out there, IE isnt the only thing going, but I will be glad when its history tho.;)

Just try a few, and if you want IE- like I would suggest Avant Browser, it uses IE as its core, but it adds lots of useful things too. Just try a few and see what sticks.

if your tired of all the popups in internet explorer just download the Google Toolbar and it will block all popups. It is great!
