By the way, IE10 sounds interesting.. sounds like Microsoft have finally realized that the only way to a better browser is to actually work on it...

Not that I'm anticipating it with much excitement, I expect the UI to get worse... maybe they'll even decide to give it a ribbon :yuck:

Now there's a reason to try IE10 :D

(That's not sarcasm BTW ;))

1194326 2011-04-14 11:23:00 You'd actually like it if the browser wasted half your screen real estate on a massive toolbar? Agent_24 (57)

The ribbon is so awesome it doesn't worry me. :D

Also OneNote 2010, Word 2010 etc. don't take up too much space on my netbook ;)

1194328 2011-04-14 22:52:00 Having tried all the browsers recently for a week or so in each case (not IE10) I went back to FF4 as its the one that gives me the least amount of hassle as in none whereas I found all the others especially Chrome to be to minimal and therefore difficult to use. I have no idea what everyone else keeps accusing FF4 of as for me it works perfectly on XP, Win7 home pre and Win7 starter and I like it due to its ability to be customised to my liking gary67 (56)

A separate search box for one. Can't think of anything else as I don't use it. I tried IE9, it's ok, fast enough but only 7 addons. I've used Firefox for years. Some releases better than others. I put FF4 on here last week & I think it's a great improvement on older versions. For some unknown reason the screen looks bigger. Probably it's the menu bar that's not showing + the tabs are on the top. Not all of the addons I use worked, but I found alternatives. So far so good, it hasn't spat the dummy. Stable & seems faster than 3.6, but at the end of the day, who cares about a couple of seconds difference to load a page

1194331 2011-04-16 04:38:00 Not sure what a separate search box provides you that the Omnibar in Chrome doesn't, but OK ... each to their own I suppose?!

I do :D
