It was really weird...strange things like a bunch of unexplained CPU usage. The task manager would be pinging at 100%, the fans working at their maximum and making all sorts of noise but you could not locate what part of the program was causing it. And like I said, you can not get rid of it. What sort of browser company creates software that you can not remove once it is installed (Insert Microsoft joke here)? That is fairly questionable behavior, and to me is an invasive tactic.

I tried safari for a day...
didn't like it or not like it...but the bells and whistles, to me, were unnecessary..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

Hmmm, that never happened to me in all the years I used Opera.
But hey, with all the possible combinations of hardware & software there is, it's amazing how programs manage to run on most machines. What works fine on one computer, may run like shit on another & vice-versa...
As for the leftovers, most programs leave crap when uninstalled. Firefux did that to me, too. In fact, I believe it still does. The only way to get completely rid of it is to format the computer. Again, most programs do this.

I remember the Mac users saying that Safari was The Shit. Maybe the Mac native version was?
But the Windows version of Safari was complete crap. It was like the "Windows ME" of browsers.
I wasn't that impressed with Opera either. Didn't see where it could do anything that Seamonkey (or the Firefox & Thunderbird combo) couldn't do. Mozilla browsers are simply better. True in the early days with Mosaic, then with Netscape, and now with Firefox & Seamonkey.
Chrome's fast, but the first thing I block with NoScript is Google Analytics. Somehow I doubt Chrome is going to let me block Google's own spyware even if they do get their plugins working right. Which they don't yet.Eat Us And Smile

Chrome is starting to come around, and is featuring an add on imaginatively called No Scripts. The problem is, it doesn't really work, and is the most confounding and un-user-friendly piece of crap you've ever seen. Sure, it blocks scripts, but it blocks virtually EVERYTHING, making the browser completely useless. And in order to reset the parameters to make the browser work, you first need to acquire degrees in both engineering and quantum mechanics

Good to see that somebody else remembers the mac version of MSIE 5. I think Microsoft and Apple are both trying to pretend that it never existed. But I remember running it on this old beast from Hell first generation "Power PC" Mac that I used at the software company I was working for at the time. (In theory it was the best machine for me to do tech support on for both the PC and Mac users, but it ran Windows horribly slow. So I did all my net surfing on the Mac side, naturally. (it was still slower than it should have been. That PC card was a resource hog.)Eat Us And Smile

Haha, you all sound like a bunch of grandpas.
I am using Chrome right now, with no problems whatsoever. My only complaint is that it seems like it has a memory leak and after a few days I have to restart the browser. But it's a hell of a lot more performant than FireFox, which is becoming VERY bloated. It's a shame because it used to be much better.Comment

Funny, I realized I had not updated my version of Chrome. I have only been using it for 6-8 months or so.
To my horror I discovered that a) I was using v4.1, and since I got this (when it was current), they are now on v7.1.
So I downloaded it and am using it now. At least it allowed me to login to the Roth Army now.
Will see what else is new. There are some changes....some commands in the options that were previously not available (though were common ones like cut/paste/copy) in Chrome, but in all other browsers.
Damn...burned through three new versions inside of a year. That is hauling ass in development world.Comment

You kids have it easy. In my day, we had to dial by ear, naked, in the middle of the winter & download hadn't been invented yet. We had to UPLOAD both ways. AND we used Lynx! None of that fancy schmancy browsers you kids are using these days.
Ah, those were the days.
