I haven't tested it, but go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Accessibility section > Check "Play system sounds"

You got it, That did the trick, Thanks so much!

it does have sessions, my browser crashed and it offered to restore session. You can also restore sessions on new tab page.

It would be great for this page to behave like chrome's speeddial extension.

I am in love with this browser it is really fast, simple and the ui is excellent however:

I don't like the ugly bar betweek the web page and the tabs (I know what it is no need to explain, I just don't like it);

I noticed, on neowin pages with like a hundered comments, mouse scrolling is not smooth at all;

And there is no decent spellchecker for it.

Hope these will be resolved, else I'll be waiting for an IE9 theme for Firefox 4. It's beautiful!

edit: oh, and there seems to be missing some css features like shadows and fadings...

Agreed on all counts (Y)

You mean theres no button to open Quick Tabs? Because pressing ctrl-q does give you a UI to select which tab you want to use lol =/

Ctrl-Q doesn't work, they removed it according to an article on zdnet because not a lot of people used it. But it read like QuickTabs itself won't be removed. Guess it's a bug that it doesn't work right now.

Is there a way of changing the default downloads folder? Every time I click Save it saves the file in user Downloads folder, I always need to use Save As and specify a path.

Click the options button right on the download window lol. The one and only option is to set the download location...

i already have quick tabs enabled, i do not see no option/button to use it.

Yup, same here. Quick Tabs is now enabled, but there is no UI for it.

OK, but there is still no UI for me to click with my mouse. ;)

You all need to open at least 2 websites in order to have the Ctrl+Q hotkey working as long as Quick Tabs enabled in settings. Pull 2 websites up first (for example: Neowin on 1 tab, and Bing on other tab and then press hotkey ... there you go!

Apparently the method used to keep inprivatefiltering on does not work anymore?

The registry key for that now is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Safety\PrivacIE\FilteringMode

Create it if it doesn't exist (DWORD) and set it's value to 1.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
    • You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
    • My Photos app is version 2026.11050.1001.0 and it remembers the window size and position. My Snipping Tool is version 11.2602.49.0 and it can capture the taskbar.
