Best free browser
Published on October 31, 2005 By scorpio-logic In Internet
Just because I am anti-proprietory about the software I choose, I don't like to use IE6. I've tried NeoPlanet, Avant, Firefox and others not so much free but share. Well, unless you've got NeoPlanet Browser archived somewhere dark and hidden, I can't find it on the internet anymore. Avant, it's tabbed sidebarred and all that. Even skinned. But I can't skin it with the product I actually BOUGHT, so it's out. And wow was I disappointed in firefox after all the great reviews it gets. Again, it's tabbed (really the reason I don't like IE6-no tabbed browsing) and sidebarred and all that. But I can't skin it with the product I actually BOUGHT, so it's out. Now I get around to Maxthon. I like it. It isn't so much different from the Windows default that I can't figure out the options and configurations without a manual and a few days of trial and error. And I can skin it with the product I actually BOUGHT. Except for the toolbar icons. Anyone know how I can change those? This is the only thing I am not excited about Maxthon.

And FF is skinable, If I am not mistaken, it uses css to for it's skins. For a selction of pre made skins, head over to the Mozilla plugin and skin page

Or, just pick the FF skin with the bars/icons you like (i prefer Nautilus or Alien Chrome or Stealth OS) and let WB skin the rest. There are also a few here. Link

Ok, yes yes, I know it is skinnable. But I can't skin it with my WB. I'm checking out opera now. Thanks people!

I prefer Opera. Although, I do use IE7 Beta and FireFox. I'd say Opera is the best choice to go with. But, that's just the oppinion of 1.

wow. I like this a lot. I'll stick with Opera for a while. Very customizable.
Edgemaster: yeah, I didn't get to the beta site in time to get IE7 beta. Is is worthwhile?

I do have OneCareLive, MS answer to Norton Systemworks, albiet a lite version. Firewall/Antivirus/Backup/Tuneup with "24-7 professional support". I am impressed with it.
