heh no idea never heard of MyIE until i started this thread hehe, would be good to hear some more bout MyIE tho =)

Myie description:

myIE is an Internet Explorer based web browser that adds a lot of new features as well as a fresh new look to your standard Internet Explorer browser interface. Among the added features are a tabbed interface that allows you to quickly switch between web pages and create groups of pages that you can launch with a single click. In addition, it offers several privacy features like cookie and history cleanup as well as an option to delete the typed address bar URLs (either all or only selected). There are many other features, most of them small, but very handy. For example, it includes an option to organize your favorites, mark certain ones as "most favorite" and then access those with a single click. You can also specify URL aliases, allowing you for example to type "WA" instead of webattack.com, or "news" to visit your favorite news site etc. Furthermore, you'll find a pop-up filter, an option to display your modem speed, local IP address, a tiny text collector as well as a feature to include external tools and more. The interface is very clean and uses XP style icons. Now that you've heard about all the features, you'll be surprised that this little app is less than 300k in size, does not require an install and doesn't mess with your existing browser settings.

i think he was just kidding..

hahahahaha toxikk..

how about you give me some good reasons why ie blows.. ill tell you why mozilla blows

1) Its slower than IE (ive tested it, ive tested 1.0)

2) It uses much more ram than IE

3) It uses much more CPU than IE

4) It takes forever to open new windows, and a popup hell can bring your computer to its knees in mozilla.

5) It cant display MANY sites correctly (hell, it cant even display parts of excite)

Now.. tell me why IE blows please

thats y, it use more RAM. not CPU

I don't see any problem like he mentioned above.

Working properly here.

=> Remember I just start using it 2day !!!

This is just another of those loaded questions... although it's been pretty calm compared to some others on the topic.

I use IE and Opera. IE because it just works and is there when I need it. Opera because it has some really nice features, such as being able to switch between User and Author mode (great for use web developers creating CSS pages). I tried using Mozilla a few times, but I've found that Opera does almost everything it does, and does it better.

    • Well duh. But it's not their agenda, they just push it forward.
    • Easier to move to Firefox, either Zen Browser or LibreWolf (which includes it by default)
    • People do not care. We are all tourists on this trip called life. So many others thing you can do, should do, then worry about trying to protect data collection. Not using Chrome, the most popular, most compatible and fastest patched browser on the market, because of data collection or some moral/political reason....is a complete waste of time IMHO. But we all get roughly the same amount of time on this trip, feel free to spend yours doing whatever makes you happy.
    • Does anyone know how the Ghostery extension works in Google Chrome? I switched to that quite a while ago, from uBlock Origin after uBlock started having issues just working. Personally I love Ghostery and I think it does a fantastic job, and I really enjoy the whitelist I have built up as well for tons of websites that don't serve ads so that it isn't blocking good elements of them by accident.
