From: "Johannes Niebach" <sniebach@sprint.ca> Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 15:07:10 -0400 Newsgroups: grc.linkfarm,grc.techtalk I've been using IE almost exclusively on Windows since version 4 was released. It beat Netscape hands down and it was actually quite useable. Unfortunately once Netscape was firmly thrashed (Although i did still have to put up with it on Linux.) the IE team seemed to lose its drive and failed to excite with the bland version 5 and the great gaping security hole known as IE6. Luckily these days we have the large but useful Mozilla and the excellent, lean Firefox (nee Firebird, nee Phoenix) which, as well as being cross platform, actually have new and useful features. Both of these browsers can be enhanced and customised in a huge number of ways, a quick browse around the Mozdev site is enough to confirm that people have itches and they are more than willing to scratch them in public (That sounds so wrong.) After spending a lot of time using these two browsers on different platforms i started to feel a little under equipped (despite all the spam offering to fix that for me...) when i needed to use IE. After thinking about it for a while and doing some googling i decided to scratch away. http://www.unixdaemon.net/ie_plugins.html -- Regard: Joh@nnes © :-)) 1216771 Ont.Inc.
