I have stopped using Netscape and IE and now use Opera. You can open different windows on different web pages and there are some great mouse shortcuts. You can download it free from Opera. One of the best things is that it is much faster than the others, ask John Miller III if you don't believe me.

Re: Opera
Yes, Opera is FREE for the version with advertising. If you don't want the advertising, you have to BUY it for $39.
Not really sure of the speed of it. That really depends on your connection speed. It can't suck those bits in any faster.
I have downloaded it, and will play with it occasionally, but I still prefer IE.

I don't really mind the advertising as it isn't obtrusive, if it really got to me I would download ad muncher or one of the other utilities that the guys in the office use to get rid of it. I must admit that I was sceptical when I was told that it was faster, but was convinced when we ran them side by side.
I think the biggest advantage for me is that I can have several web sites open at the same time and switch between them. I have to spend a lot of my time during the day on the web so anything which makes it easier is most welcome. At the end of the day it is all down to personal preference /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

You can do the same with IE and Netscape. I always have multiple screens running at the same time -- doesn't everyone?

Re: Opera
I have tried using Netscape and IE with multiple windows but have found it very s-l-o-w. At the end of the day it all depends on what suits an individual and their particular setup, Opera works best for me 98% of the time. When that doesn't work I try Netscape and as a last resort IE.

Re: Opera
Hey Muhammad!
Your screen looks alot like mine (especially the taskbar)! And with my 1.5 Ghz machine and cable modem, I don't notice ANYTHING being slow.

Re: Opera
Dave, living off out in the country with barbed wire for phone lines, I frequently have a couple of screens going at the same time, too. That's so I can be reading one while I'm waiting on the other one to load./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif And I usually have plenty of time to do my reading, too.
