So many people instantly equate open source as automatically better. That's not acurate. It is potentially better. As of now, I just don't see it in Mozilla, maybe after another 43 builds...

Other than that, I can say that the current Opera has yet to crash on me in any instance, not just *far less*. I use it at work with ad displayed, and don't even notice. At home, I have no ads on my opera... It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf. Chainsaw  This member has been banned.

Location: Underground, Colorado Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Dirty Pop-ups <Reply # 15 on 5/20/2004 5:26 PM >   I think it probably is - the same goole toolbar is built right into firefox and mozilla now-a-days- so I think it's all the same tech - I haven't looked at the actual code or anything - but the similar toolbars lead me to believe that is the case.

Second, the methodology for popup blockers is quite simple: block unless the popup is wanted. Third, the Google toolbar in browsers other than IE is probably because its a very popular search engine, and its very convenient to have. The popup blockers themselves are integrated into the browser, separate from the toolbar. uem-Tux  Iron Wok Jan Location: Montreal Gender: Male UE Geek  |  |  |  Re: Dirty Pop-ups <Reply # 18 on 5/20/2004 7:36 PM >   With the integrated popup-blocking, like in FireFox and Safari, it's not really accurate to call it pop-up blocking, since it's not third-party software that automatically closes rogue windows, it's simply a browser preference. I see a lot of people praising IE, but that fact is it's old bloated tech. No tabbed browsing, no built-in popup blocking, no google search. Add to that that it's incredibly vulnerable to spyware of all kinds... it's basically trash. I only use it on my PC because it's so freakin' fast under Windows XP. I also run adaware every few weeks. It's th only way to go, unless you choose another more secure browser. Urban Exploration Montreal Why are you the way that you are? Jesus Jones  This member has been banned.

I have Firefox and it kicks ass. IE is ignorant and irritating. I keep middle clicking on links in IE hoping for a tab to pop up.
