Opera 9.02 works great for me. I've been using FF for a long time, but Opera is also pretty good these days. Speed wise, its up there with FF and way ahead of IE 6, so it will be interesting to see how IE 7 compares.

 

Last time I had to deal with Opera (about 2 months ago), I had no end of crashes, it was slow, and it didn't render html correctly. FF and IE6 were much faster by comparison. Nasty piece of software imo, but each to their own

 

So I assume you are a Mac user then. The mac version of IE (no longer support) was terrible

Been having mega trouble with FF in the last week trying to get it to render some dynamically populated <div> statements correctly. IE 6/7 handle it fine, but FF seems to get very confused when things start getting resized and doesn't flow things properly, (they start overlaying each other).

 

I hope its better than tis God-awful beta Ive been saddled with since January!

 

Hi Iain, yes indeed a MAC fanboy - IE on the Mac was and is shocking. I love the browser sync support on FF, great to have the work laptop synced with the three Macs at home

 

Well it's 1st Nov and it's popped up on Auto-update

We've been warned at work NOT to instal it due to 'known security issues'

Is this likely just to be a problem for their secure network (MOD etc.) or is it summat more general

As for a 'genuine copy of Windows' er, yes I have, but I also have several other versions on various drives on this PC and I don't want it fecking up like that darned 'Windows Genuine Advantage update' did!

 

Is it just my fading eyes.........

......or have other people found that the fonts look blurred in IE7?

I have turned off Clear Type (see IE7 Help / Fonts / Blurry Fonts) and I think it has improved it but I can't be sure!

Yup - I'm convinced!

 

Not just you mate!

Go onto online Microsoft help and you can select from a choice of settings that solves this, did for me anyway!! Really like the look of them now, much better than IE6

 

I tried the different Clear Type settings but none of them really seemed right - just that some were less bad than others. Turning it off altogether was much better for me (on my laptop as well).

Bloody hell I thought it was just me ! I've booked myself in for laser eye surgery now, better cancel it !!

 

It's perfectly clear on both my laptop and desktop. I wonder if it is a display driver thing....

 

Working great here .. so good infact I have uninstalled FF
