fwiw the latest IE has tabs, like Mozilla.

Also, if you "upgrade" to IE7 there is a tabbed browsing feature that basically opens another IE window inside the one you're already running and you can click between them under the address bar.

*In my experience, not worth it just for tabbed browsing. Get FireFox 2.

Wayne, go with tabbed browsing. Much easier to deal with...

Wayne,

Better tip. Ditch IE and go with Firefox. I did 3 months ago and have been kicking myself in the rear ever since. Why? Should have done it years ago.

Firefox is better, faster and uses lots less memory. Am addicted to the tabbing now and IE is just following Firefox's lead.

Try it, you WILL like it.

I use Opera. Fantastic browser.

LOL here's a really small tip for using Internet Explorer:

Don't.

Or you could just use Firefox 2.0. :)

You can get a plugin for Firefox 2 that lets you run IE tabs under Firefox... :)

I just stopped making recommendations because it seems all one gets is shlt and no one seems to read previous posts anyway, guess I just got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Firefox good. Opera good. What's IE? ;)

One of my major beefs with MSFT. They take a standard and "improve" it to the point that it only works best with other MSFT products.

You should not have to design a site that works best with a particular browser.

That's why the W3C set standards that every other browser adheres to.

Hopefully won't last long. On the sites that I manage I see roughly 85% IE and the rest FireFox and others.

However, one of my gaming clients is getting 50% Firefox and 43% IE traffic.

That's gotta scare the crap out of MSFT. If I'm seeing that then the xBox site has got to be seeing something close to it as well.

It's important since gamers are considered pretty knowledgable and are generally the families "trusted advisor". They are the person that friends and family turn to for help with their PC needs.

Marketers are all going after the trusted advisor. The general public is apathetic about PC technology, they don't want to know the details. They just want a box to do their stuff with.

IE 7 suks

Opera +1

The only site I have found that Firefox does not work with is Windows Update. They want THEIR browser being used with their updates. Course their browser needs to be updated as its so buggy and behind the times.

Sorry but have used IE far too much and there are other products out there that are better. MS is getting what they deserve and its way past time.

But it's *safer*. The thing at the top of Yahoo says so.

Not using IE at all is safer. Using a Mac is even safer ;)

Just read that again. You have to wonder why would they allow that to happen? It's basically allowing an application to run multiple instances of itself. What is the benefit? I could see some upside if the app was doing some heavy processing (3d rendering) that did not utilize 100% of available RAM or processor time and that by running multiple instances you could run concurrent tasks in their own memory/processor space which could be efficient. Can't see why a web browser would need to do that.

Simply mind boggling.

I think that maybe they were hoping that when one IE window crashes, it wouldn't bring down the other 15. Of course, they didn't realize it brings down the whole OS...

What are these "crashes" you MAC guys are always talking about?:D
