Well, this is all I see. THere isn't an Empty on Exit option in NS 7.1. Mozilla might have it, but I haven't downloaded it yet.

Jeff, you can't get me to convert. IE is horrible. MS can't get with the times and make a FRESH looking browser, kind of like what Null said.


Also, I included an attachment to show what I'm seeing since NS's preferences are probably different then Mozilla's.

I think I might've solved my problem. I tell NS to compare cache page to current page loading only when the server says its out of date. (When the Page is out of Date option on NS's cache)

and look how easy it is to do that in ie. its simple and easy so what if ns looks fun and bubblie its just how it looks. looks arnt everything

[Null]

IE sure seems to think looks are everything.

thats why MS can only change the look of IE a little bit since Windows 98.

But hey, MS has it right there, Why try to fix crap? your hands just get all messy.

I know looks aren't everything, but I just don't like IE. If I had XP on this machine (can't because the video card is horribly bad), I would take out IE. I don't want to in 98 because it would die if it didn't have IE on it.

So say what you want Jeff, you can't convert me

Let's see...The look hasn't changed much (I like when something is changed once in awhile, looking at basically the same thing for 5 or more years gets old), IE has so many security holes (along with its "mother" Windows) which is why I don't trust MS products because there are at least 50 security updates before its out for a year (at least it seems like 50).

So I don't care what anyone tries to say, I'm not using IE. *puts foot down*

poor delusonal man

[Null]

delusonal? talkin bout yourself there man.

IE is poorly made, slow, and yes it does have one sucurity issue/hole one after another.

thing is. untill MS decides to actually update the damn thing, bring it up to times. fix its issues, add the new idea's that have made browsing easier on other browsers (aka, tabbed windows for one) then IE is just no where near the top of the list as far as browsers go.

hopfully MS will decide to actually make a new IE for thier next operating system. (which is kinda the problem tho. if IE was its own program, instead of just a part of windows, then they'd have people working at it and updating it and improving it.)
