What browser are you using?
thats something im simply interested in. i was using ie 5.5 for a long time, but after i found out, there is no way to install SP2 for it anymore, which was needed for some security-update and i managed to crash it totally during that procedure, i was without a browser.
so i tried out mozilla and was VERY happy with tabbed browsing, but VERY unhappy with its speed and the fact, it couldnt read my ie-cookies.
now im using ie 6 with all patches and service packs and the "crazy browser" upgrade, which provides me with tabbed browing, a popupkiller and some other useful stuff.
if i forgot an important one in the poll, post it
i think editing a phpbb-poll crashes it (at least at an another board im using).

I put my vote in other although to be honest Slimbrowser is IE core, not tried Crazybrowser. btw all my buds are moving to it
Don't be scene or herd!

the url is http://www.CrazyBrowser.com
i personally like it very much, i can use the core (and cookies!) of IE combined with the comfort of other browsers. crazybrowser kills about 2-5% of my cpu-power (ok, thats 500 mhz) and needs about 30 mb of ram. thats more than mozilla, but it runs faster for that

I used Crazy Browser, but I have switched to MyIE2 http://www.myie2.com/ which is even better with lots of useful features.

and personally as someone that browses by opening multiple windows all the time (it's a disease) i find ie6 kills my cpu, AND seems to memory leak so eventually my poor win 98 system dies a death due to no resourses (even if no applications open!)
dunno if i can blame ie or 98 for that, but it's definitely all microsoft's fault!

Like PitD, I find my behavior ingrained by long experience with one browser...but in my case, it's Navigator, not IE. I managed to move from Lynx to Mosaic to Navigator years ago and have been happy ever since. While I have IE installed on my systems for site testing, I find the interface annoying and the security options not to my taste. It's amusing to me that, after all the hullabaloo, Microsoft was still able to engineer an almost complete turnover in how the non-AOL world browses the web in the course of about two years.
