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

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
