Kewl. As for my multiple personalities. . .I now have and use all 3 platforms. I was more of a Linux user, but still used XP a good bit. Now I've added a mac to the mix. What can I say-I like choice :ninja:

Omniweb is easily the best looking browser around, but it handles neowin badly, in fact it's rendering is very poor.

The very latest Chimera nightly is nice, it's my default and it's always getting better.

http://chimera.mozdev.org

get the latest nightly.

Oh, and as for AA, in Jaguar, you have the option of different levels of AA and they are all different, nice option.

Finally got around to trying Chimera (nightly build). I agree, it's a nice browser. In fact it 'feels' faster then IE 5.2, whether it actually is or not.

If Apple were to brand their own browser, this would good a choice :)

    • Windows 11 is getting unexpected new customization feature

      Only option I want is to disable the system tray overflow menu and always show icons, W11 added option to hide the menu but then icons will still go there instead of the tray.

    • Windows 11 blocks Google Chrome due to a Microsoft safety feature, fix out

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 blocks Google Chrome due to a Microsoft safety feature, fix out by Sayan Sen Microsoft has a parental control and safety feature called "Microsoft Family Safety" which allows users to create safe spaces for their family members for browsing the web by setting up filters so as to block and filter inappropriate content and limit browsing to kid-friendly and family friendly content. However, as it turns out, following Chrome version updates 137.0.7151.68, 137.0.7151.69, Google's web browser is getting automatically blocked by Microsoft Family Safety as affected users have reported that the browser will automatically close or crash and then fail to reopen. Thus if you are using Edge, you get the green signal from the Family Safety app, but not if you are using Google Chrome. The issue seems to be affecting mainly Windows 11 devices but Windows 10 or macOS may be affected too. A thread on Microsoft's official Windows forum by Peter Priestley1, which is presumably from an educational institute, says: The thread has been upvoted by 122 people at the time of writing. There are plenty of other such threads online and users also say that they have tried all sorts of things like refreshing cookies and appdata but "nothing" seems to fix it. This shows that Microsoft's safety feature is certainly robust and that it is not easy to bypass but it also means affected users are not too happy about it considering it is seemingly blocking all versions of Chrome. There is one fix that worked though, renaming chrome.exe to something else like chrome1.exe for example. A Chrome community manager, Ellen T, has confirmed that the Microsoft feature is indeed what is causing it and the only way to fix the issue is to "unblock Chrome" inside the Family Safety app. Ellen says: Microsoft has also shared a similar guidance on the issue according to Fred SR., a senior member of the Chrome community.
