I use IE because I am an upgrade junkie.You know "There is a newer version of IE please click here".I got MSN 8 working with my satellite so I use that mostly when I download stuff because it has a built in download manager and is very quick.When I want tabbed browsing I use MY IE.Had Netscape 4.7 long time ago.

So do you all not feel a little bit scared that MS might secretly be logging all your actions on the web?

Just wondering.

It doesn't matter what browser you use.
Ultimately,it's the Operating system that controls what goes out, and may,or may not get logged.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

but a browser logs all of your interactions with the web. It's the first line of interaction. When you do online shopping, you enter you credit card numbers in browser forms, personal information, phone numbers etc...

like a firewall blocks information in and out, so too could a browser with say built in firewall protection, 128 bit encryption, and it wouldn't be MS code running the browser...

But I agree for the most part IE is a decent product.. but I think it's used basically because there is no extra effort to run it... unfortunate for all those other browser developers. It's almost communist like... one size fits all, one browser for the masses..

Well as far as I know Phoenix doesn't do all this secret logging and since I've been using Phoenix there's been no need to use Spyder or programs such as too get rid of the secret url & reg files that M$ IE hides all over the place.

At first I didn't like Phoenix cuz it was diffrent and needed to be set up with plug in extensions....but ooooh how nice it is once you do so....you have much more control over what you want and don't want , what it can and can't do.... Phoenix isn't perfect , but at least I don't have too worry about running to Windows update ta get the latest security fix , heck some of those security fixes are larger than the whole dam Phoenix program

Anyway no one has to worry about me being a part of some DOS attack.....now let me put a check in the Google Bot ext. , ahhh it's nice being a Google Web crawller....hehe

I saw a post at a newssite the other day about google and the cached webpages that should have been password protected and I thought of you fastgame and your pheonix browser

Phoenix is only a few months old. It's still basically beta at version 0.5 - but it's great!

Egghead, what does that mean?

I think it means you & I are*[edit]SleaseBag[/edit]* Web crawlers and we should not be [edit] in Web sites and reading all the Magizines and enjoying other things that are limited to [edit] members.....

IE6 is the most popular for obvious reasons, but it also makes web page design easier if everyone uses the same.

Other browser all try to be clever and only end up making it difficult to support

Ie6 works and to be honest, what more do you need

[Big Booger]

To sum it up, I think you need choice, imagine what it would be like to only have one beverage to choose from... it would suck... even though it tastes good now, after a while it will get old.
