Wow! Are there really that many people that use Firebird? Yuck!! I use Opera all the way. Was using MyIE2 also once in a while until my Kaspersky AV found 2 corrupted files in it on a brand new install. Didn't seem to mess anything up, but couldn't handle the fact that a brand new fresh installation was messed up from the get go.

IE6... i dont need anything special :D does the job quite well

Yep, agreeance.

memNoc mentioned why even have IE on the list/poll?

IE is simple, does what i want. Loads very fast for me, faster then any other browser. I dont want tabs, i prefer new page, new window. As for pop upblocking, i use sites that require pop upblocking software disabled and so, defeats me purpose.

Its just simple, fast and configures as i want and does what i want.

If you want fancy features, go elsewhere.

I USE IE6sp1. It does what I want, if well maintained is fast enough, renders most pages well (I never said it conformed to standards, I am saying it renders well).

I use a plugin for TABS, the GOOGLE toolbar (good pop-up blocking).

Just waiting for a good download manager that doesn't interfer too much.

Flashget i use.

Is great.

Only thing i dont like about it is the right click context menu. I just disable it by sing the registry(as you cant from the program) and deny permission for all users in the following key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

Once dont that and also changing the directories for the downloads, im happy.

    • 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.
