yep! same here! i switched from mozilla when i found out about firebird browser! it rocks! :D

I wouldn't consider Neowin to be an accurate sample of browser use on the internet. Most of the people on Neowin are more tech savvy and in turn use alternative browsers to IE, unlike 90% of people that use the internet.

I use IE but really want to switch to something that's better. For this purpose I tried Opera as well as Mozilla, but both lacked the ease of use of IE. I mean IE starts faster and is good looking.

for eg. Ctrl + Enter in IE you get the www & .com automatically. This going to websites becomes faster...

there are many more such things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm getting CABLE installed in about 2 weeks and i want a fast browser that can do tabs and allow me use Download Accelerator.

so i'm hopin someone here has broadband and would like to give me some insight on what browser they are using and why

thanks :)

pheonix because it is quite simply the fastest browser out there. i don't believe u can use download accelerator with it but with broadband there is not much need for it. and the built in download manager for pheonix is good enough anyway. i would suggest just trying a few out urself though, these things tend to be a matter of personal preferance

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
