Interesting new web browser

Another one to try, if you haven't already:

kinda looks like IE wants to imitate Opera

Ayup. And so far..works pretty good.

Excpe that I could not get it to repons to the address entry bar at all. In facxt it sent/received data, and got me nowhere......... ????

Hmm ... interesting. a nslookup shows the following:

izalco:dnichols 0:57 > nslookup

Name: www10.iwi.com.sg Address: 203.116.15.66 Aliases:

Which says that they are located in Singapore.

I wandered through the web site, and found absolutely *nothing* which says which OS it works under, by which I assume that it only works under Windows -- at least so far. :-)

That "mouse gestures" feature looks nice.

Enjoy, DoN.

I looked at it - no uninstall included - no go.

Even if IE is put out by the Evil Empire, it seems to work OK for me. I have Pop-Up Stopper, which handles most of my "issues."

It runs that quickly, too, as if it goes out to Singapore to fetch each request. S L O W . I don't see the benefits.

For those of you who uninstall it, you'll have to separately uninstall (search out and nuke) the Robowhatzit.

I'm being quoted and replied to, yet there isn't any of my post included. Is this the puzzle of the week, a Buddhist Koan, or just clumsy attributing?

But does it eliminate what IE should never have been, Microsoft's internet worm handler interface for windows? IOW: does it have the same vulnerabilities to some ninety plus percentile of current malware as IE/OE?

.....and I see possible dangers? I saw a lot of net activity with no results when I tried use the address entry box.

Ok. Thanks

Well if it bothers you that much, then get a life?

My POINT is that the damned thing does not work for me. I in fact treat it with suspicion.

Wish me luck elsewhere.

Of course, all the luck a sarcastic stupid f*ck deserves!

.....and I now have to reassign my html files to my old browser.

I find this a little aggressive. It's "free". It's slow. It sends info and does nothing. My firewal says "give it free reign?" (as you would to a browser) and I think hmmm....

Colour me paranoid.

Larry

Could you be a little more specific, please?

Slow???? Its one of the fasted browsers Ive used to date..and Ive used them all. No blinky lights when Im not doing anything, everything was seamless and I still can use IE if I want, plus it transerfed my IE book marks and cookies perfectly.

I didn't let myIE2 modify many of those extensions. I wish

Ditto that.

Since RoboForm didn't uninstall with the other program and didn't go through a normal install, I had to find it in the Program Files under "Siber" (?, from memory) and use the "unsafe" x-iconed thingy to remove it. It then opened Netscape and asked me why I was uninstalling it.

I gave it a test after nuking NN's cache and NN took half the time to load a test site. Too many unnecessary bells and whistles, the same bloat IE suffers from. I long for the good old days when NN 4.09 ruled the Earth... My favorite feature of all browsers is the bookmark file, which 4.09 had down PAT! IE would suck MUCH less if it did bookmarks like that.

OK. Thanks. I'll check it out.

I don't remember it _asking_!

I'm with you. Only use InternetExplosion when I have no choice. I'm using
