Internet Explorer 6 blows!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hamburgerpimp]

Found a site and DL'd the new version 6 of IE, it absolutely sucks, IMHO. The only difference is MS put these 4 links to their MSN $hit, etc on the left hand side and you cannot get rid of them. They suck!!

 

[dawks]

Heh.. Yea..

Alpha also.. sigh

Thanks for the Info.

if only netscape could make a decent browser...but wait, they are owned by AOL. I guess I'm gonna be using ie5 for a LONG time!

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

If Netscape didn't lock up all the time I would use it!!

IE or mozilla for me.

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Thank God they have the "Restore to previous Windows version" in Add/Remove Software!!! Back to normal for me now!!

Is Opera any good?? LMK, I may consider it!!

 

[fallenoncrack]

IE or nuffin for me!

 

[MrDudeMan]

yeah IE 5.5 is good, 6.0 isnt too hot. i dont like netscape, it just seems slow, and something about it bothers me. dunno what though

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Yeah, I just tried the newest Opera (Even the 5.02 cracked with no Ads) and it is way slower than IE5. Takes forever to load a page. Your results may vary!! :Q

 

[Double Trouble]

Was only a matter of time before MS tried to force their crap and portals etc on you as an IE user. No IE 6 for me, thank you

 

[StageLeft]

Its IE or bust baby.

 

[Valhalla1]

ugh.. there is NO way to get rid of the links? someone post a screenshot of IE 6, I want to see what this looks like.

surely someone will come up with a hack to get around that crap. if not, its IE 5.01 for me. whats new in IE 5.5? from what I understood, its just IE 5.01 w/ a print preview function, which I don't care about. I tried IE 5.5, and I hated it, it had this bug/feature thing that when you clicked a link, I didn't get any visual response that the browser was doing anything like you do in IE5 (the status bar text changes to "Web site found..." etc. In IE 5.5 it just kept saying "Done" for a good 5-6 seconds. :| drove me insane

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Yeah, let me get some screen shots/links to IE6, hold on.

Here's a link:

See the links on the strip in the middle, can't get rid of those. M$, how nice of them!!

 

[Valhalla1]

wtf? that left bar takes a whole 1/3 of the screen and theres no way to get rid of it? what does that left-facing arrow button do on the top? what about View-Toolbars, and unselecting it? or right clicking on it? anything at all?

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Oh, you can get rid of the left hand search bar, but not the links. That arrow shrinks it. I hate all the links these damn companies integrate into their browsers. They're for people who just like to point and click on the Internet!!

 

[Yzzim]

Is the only visual change that dumb ass little tool bar on the left?

 

[sparkle]

Lame, that is the exact thing I hate about netscape 6.... other than it sux

 

[konichiwa]

There's also some little features here and there...like if you hold your mouse over an image this little toolbar will pop up with four icons, save, print, email, send to clipboard. Stuff like that. No major changes and that toolbar takes up about 20 pixels...WhoTF cares? I find it useful.

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Well, it was alot slower for me. IE 5.5 is way faster on my machine, don't know about everyone else??

 

[Prodigy^]

integrated links always suck but wtf is the problem when you can shrink that bar anyway? what kinda people uses something that covers 1/3rd of your screen anyway!?
