its not as hard as that, take JS pop up windows for example. if u turn it off to get rid of those annoying geocities/tripod et cetera adverts u might come across a website where the popup is quite useful. no problem, its pretty easy to make this site an exception to the JS filter. then refresh the page and *pop*
too right, take 2 identical machines... one w/ iCab and the other the latest Mozilla. if u started both browsers at the same time you could be up and running and first posting on slashdot using iCab before the Mozilla had even finished displaying its dumb splash page.
why do we want an "eye catching" browser anyway, surely we want our attention to be on the actual webpage? incidentally i think iCab is a lot less ugly than most other browsers because of the miminal UI design. no skins or crap like that. just a fast and reliable browser one can fine tune to perfection.
not true, i use BTinternet and often i get the connection problems u list, maybe 10% of the time i get errors or very rough sounding modem handshake attempts
strange, when we have trouble with the site they usually reply to e-mails quite quickly. they even called us up once a few minutes after the e-mail was sent asking for more details
being able to buy your milk and rice online is a great help, especially to ppl who don't own cars. its worth having to let the vendor know what browser you are running. sometimes this security paranoia can just get in the way
we use tesco, its pretty browser specific, it works in netscape 4.7 but IE5 is a bit flakey and iCab doesn't work at all, which is unfortunate given how unstable 'Scape is...

they're gonna save your soul dammit!!
thank you my soul is now saved
what makes u think we don't use vi on our Macs? or am i the only insane one?
the only downside to using multiple browsers is keeping your bookmarks consistent between the lot of 'em.
the best thing about iCab compared to Opera is that it doesn't have that lame MDI! why on Terra did Opera use MDI?!
naa use both
i agree, Opera sucks. and yes i have used it extensively
i can view chinese and japanese websites fine with iCab, i think its fine with whatever the Mac is set up to do

no its quite easy, and speed of typing in chinese for an experienced typist is not much slower than in a latin language
no its not, not even close

da yin jing
funny... i prefer that UI to W95!
now the best was running Windows 3.0 in B&W CGA mode...
