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 agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
    • M$ can bring whatever the hell it wants, and then guess what's not installed in my Mac.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
