,May 17 2003, 07:02] in fact both netscape and IE comes for the same base, spyglass mozaic, so its thanks to mozaic the creation of all the browsers

Well I know it was called Mosaic, but Marc Andreesen created it, and then it became Netscape which Marc Andreesen owned for many many years till IE started becoming usable and popular, then sold it to AOL.

If you add the total votes for Mozilla and Firebird, it would surpass IE6 though.

Barely

I would use Firebird if they separated the buttons and the address bar. It looks much nicer than Mozilla and seems to be faster. I still prefer IE because its never done me wrong.

You can do that in Firebird. :yes:

Rightclick on the button bar, Customize, and drag stuff around. Drag the URL bar down to the bookmarks bar. If you don't have a bookmarks bar, it's under View -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks Toolbar.

It's here (default theme). It's a Q or sickle or somethin'. :wacko:

there it is..hehe

they gotta change it though ;)

I tried most of the browsers, and i like MyIE2 the best... (please don't try to change that, it's a personal opionion). While i was testing Firebird, i also tried an extension called Smoothwheel. Scrolling in firebird was soooo smooth! Is there any possible way to create the same effect in MyIE2 or IE6?

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
