Also with browsers there's no accounting for taste. People have different opinions. I was a longtime adherent of firefox and still have it on, as I had flock as long as it lasted. But with the right combination of add-ons I have come to like-like Google Chrome. Click&Clean add-on in it is great!
OK our treating Big e is as with Spyware Blaster you have it because it comes integrated to your OS and for memory's sake, and yes recently I  even felt a timid   urge to do a search-up using BING. As I said it is as with cauliflower, some like the taste and others go for broccoli,

When I do on the very rare occasion fire it up all it wants to do is have me disable add-ons to speed up browsing.
You can use the drop down from that popup David to extend the time for add-on's, i increased mine from .20 to .30 and no more popup :) but you probably cant be bothered with it anyway  ;)

As an almost exclusive IE user since the days of Win 98SE and IE4, I give this a huge thumbs up. All the versions have been good and better than their competition at the time (can you say Netscape?) and IE9 is simply the best.

You're right, I just told it to sod off and not bother me again, or words to that effect in the drop down list.

That's a true statement when it's compared to IE 8 or 7 or 6


It certainly is only your personal opinion when it's compared to Chrome or Firefox.  :D

Hadaway an' shite.

I seem to remember IE6 was a stinky turd, and Firefox and Opera versions at the time were far better.

If IE9 is better now, it's because of the competition from Firefox and Opera.

Chrome might also have had something to do with it.

Nah.

Chrome came on the scene at the end of 2008.

Microsoft started to pick up its game with IE7 back in 2006.

Hi FwF,

And what do you think of the influence from the growing Google environment experience?
We are slowly moving away from conventional laptops, notebooks etc. to other mobile solutions with the Google OS on it.
I guess MS is feeling the heat there most.
Being on GoogleChrome with Abine's Do not Track Plus for some time now, Fx somehow feels like differently.
Seems to have tweaked Chrome launched via Chrome Privacy Guard to my likings now with:
Malware Script Detector, Web bug detector and Malware Search extensions, to name just some,

Hi Polonus,

I use Opera on Android- it's really good. The stock browser is OK but crashes regularly for some reason.

Looks like it says Bel Air on the wheel. Yes I do remember because my first car was a 1957 Chevy Bel Air with the straight 6 engine and the 2 speed Powerglide automatic transmission with the shifter on the column just like in the picture but in black. I paid all of $130 for it in 1966 and traded it in a year later for $150 because the dealer wanted it for the body.

To this day, on my 6th car now, I have never owned one with a standard shift. I went from the '57 to a '61 Oldsmobile F-85, to a '75 Audi Fox, to a '81 Honda Civic (the only one I bought new), to a '83 Chevy Cavalier wagon, and now my '94 Saturn SW2 wagon.
