So there are many browsers out there, and now, they are all mostly all free...hell, even Opera. Now... Many claim to be the fastest for example, here is a funny one... Avant, they do but yet, they use the IE engine to power their IE FACE...Opera also claims to be the fastest...and I agree.

so I say: Opera

Believe it or not, IE7. Firefox is cool once your get FireTune to optimise it but I've found IE7 to be blazing fast and be very secure.

Problem with FireFox is it freezes whenever your try doing to many things at once. IE7 stays near and clear of whatever you're doing. Plus the popup blocker(in my experience) works better.

Without having tested IE7, I have to say that Firefox 2.0 (Bon Echo) Alpha 1 is the fastest, so I really look forward to the final release of it sometime this summer. There is a clear speed-difference from version 1.5 of Firefox, more than between any other mozilla releases that I can remember (and it's not even finished yet). If only non-beta software counts, I think that Opera is the fastest, but I personally don't like the user experience of it, so my everyday browser is Firefox 1.5 ;)

I find Bon Echo to be slightly slower than Firefox, especially when it initially loads up. I'm hoping it has something to do with the fact that it's still in the testing phase, but if this speed decrease is permanent, I'm sticking with Firefox 1.5.

Overall, I think Opera is the fastest, followed by Firefox, then Bon Echo, and ending with IE6. I haven't tried any others.

I see...

On my machine I use Firefox. However IE seems to be faster, but I'm still not gonna use it except for WU.

I rely too much on the "mark all links visited(linkvisitor)" extension. But I think my javascript buttons "remove redirects" and "hide visited links" would work on IE.

With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally.

    • WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
