I have been thinking about using it... does the program install itself / integrate with IE or is it a standalone program?

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.

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.

    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.

    • Minecraft is getting a Switch 2 native version with the Vibrant Visuals graphics upgrade by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft's block-based sensation Minecraft is available on an astounding number of platforms, including PC, consoles, and mobile devices. Today, during the Nintendo Direct livestream, another version was announced, this one aimed at the Nintendo Switch 2 console. This native edition will use the new hardware's horsepower to finally bring the Vibrant Visuals graphics upgrade to players on the platform. While Nintendo Switch 2 players have been able to jump into Minecraft since the console's launch, this has only been via the backward-compatible original Switch version. With this new upgrade, players will be able to fully utilize the new hardware to run the game better and with new features. For those unfamiliar with it, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade landed earlier this year on PC (Bedrock), Xbox, PlayStation, and mobile platforms with the Chase the Skies update. This brought volumetric lighting, directional lighting, volumetric fog, and other elements to the sandbox title, letting players see aspects like sun rays, dynamic shadows, reflections in water, and shine on metallic blocks. "Survive the night or create a work of art in the iconic sandbox game," says Nintendo. "Build anything you can imagine, uncover mysteries, and face foes in an infinite world that’s unique in every playthrough." The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft seems to be a paid upgrade, as Nintendo says anyone who purchases this version will be able to carry over their save data from the original Switch version. Pricing details were not announced today, however. Meanwhile, the Nintendo exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up Pack will be available to all buyers of this version too, giving them a custom Mario-themed world as well as skins and tracks inspired by the series. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft will be releasing sometime in 2026.
