| 203447 | 2003-12-27 06:09:00 | I have been looking at installing mozilla for an alternative to IE for its tabbing multible windows and pop up blocking fuctions(among otherthings). I have also found third party IE plugins such as crazybrowser (http://www.crazybrowser.com) which look like they provide this tabbing ability as a plugin? I know everyone will have their own opinions on what browser they think is the best and whay they like to use so my questions are these.... Has anyone used or uses crazybrowser?? Is Mozilla as secure as IE?? Is Mozilla as user-friendly as IE? Is Mozilla quite demanding on your system?? I would also appreciate anyones views on what they consider a good internet browser..... Thanks for your help. Mantis |

| 203448 | 2003-12-27 06:26:00 | I have used Crazy Browser before and it was great. It is not a plug-in to IE, rather it is a separate browser which just uses the IE engine to render the web pages. It does provide tabbed browsing and also blocks pop-ups. I really like the way when you open up heaps of tabs, they just start to scroll off the screen rather than to squeeze themselves together so that they all remain visible. I once had over 30 tabs open with Crazy Browser without realising this :D. Because it uses the IE engine, it will be susceptible to the same security bugs that IE has. Alternative tabbed browsers that you may want to consider as well: Opera (http://www.opera.com/) Avant Browser (http://www.avantbrowser.com/) Mozilla Firebird (www.mozilla.org) - my personal favourite. It is not the same as Mozilla as it is a stand-alone browser without the email suite inbuilt. For security, no browser is perfect, but I would go with either Opera or Firebird. |

| 203449 | 2003-12-27 06:39:00 | Just remembered - there was a discussion recently on Mozilla vs Mozilla Firebird that you may find interesting to read - here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). It even had one of the Mozilla Firebirds developers posting in it :) | Jen C (20) | ||
| 203450 | 2003-12-27 06:53:00 | > Is Mozilla as secure as IE?? Probably more secure than IE because it does not use ActiveX which is the cause of a lot of IE user woes . It also blocks pop-ups that can be accidentally clicked on and thus install undesirables . > Is Mozilla as user-friendly as IE? Easily and Firebird (the browser I use mostly, along with Opera) may be even easier . > Is Mozilla quite demanding on your system?? Not sure about Mozilla but Firebird uses more resouces than IE when running purely because IE is integrated into Windows whereas Firebird is not really "installed" like most programs are . If you are concerned about resources try Opera which is quite light in that respect . > I would also appreciate anyones views on what they consider a good internet browser . . . . . As previously said I use Firebird most of the time and Opera occasionally which used to be my default browser before Firebird . Either one would be a very good choice . Eudora is my email client as Firebird does not come with one . |

| 203451 | 2003-12-27 07:41:00 | Just type MyIE2 into google and you will get the best add on to Explorer6. I have been using it for a month now, I also use Firebird and Netscape and I am very impressed with MyIE2. Not only tabbed browsing on IE6 but heaps of other cool features. Regards Robert. Here is the link : www.myie2.com |

| 203452 | 2003-12-30 00:57:00 | Thanks for the tip about MYIE2, have been using crazy browser because I like the tab function and now switched to MYIE2, just as nice with a few added features... solid as a rock... but can anyone tell me how to open a new web page showing in front of the previous one/ ie: if I open a new page it loads behind the previous one unless I do 'open in new window'. Joe90 You spin me right round baby... :) |

| 203453 | 2003-12-30 02:22:00 | Glad you like it. Cannot answer that last question of yours at the moment, sorry. Do you like the way you can change the skin so easily? Cannot understand why anyone is using any other browser quite frankly. Regards Rob. |
