And there was no looking back. I only use it to test if my sites looks good in it. At work, I prefer Opera - there are ways to make it look like I am staring at a black and white word document, so my boss won't notice it's yugatech i'm reading. 1) View menu -> Style -> High Contrast (B/W) 2) View -> Images -> No Images 3) F12 -> Uncheck enable plugins (disables flash) 4) I usually zoom it down to 80% (Firefox will only have the zoom feature in version 3, it currently has text size only) 5) Surf all I want I ceased using IE for internet browsing back in 2003 when I discovered better alternatives FF and Opera.

Ie sucks in many ways. I developed site since 2000 and the most problematic browser I have is IE, most of my CSS is not working fine. But I think it improves on IE7. IE6 has a lot of buggggg. Safari is cool and I am using this to test the other websites project I am doing. I am make sure the site is tested in FF, IE, Safari, Opera , etc etc....

It works faster when paying Philippine credit cards online. Bancnet, Citibank, Bankard - firefox does magic with them. So far, i don't have big qualms with the browser. Firefox is better than ‘e’.

It's being deemphasized already. I guess those who are still using ActiveX are institutions like banks that have targeted IE only for their customer base. I am starting to see more banking sites using Java instead of old ActiveX. ActiveX?
