As for my attitude, simms, you started your post with:
Name something this browser doesn't have that IE/FF have.
.. which comes off as some sort of challenge. Maybe that's not how you meant it, but that's how it came off to me, and no doubt others.

For FF I'm talking about Tabbrowser extensions. That is a plugin. I realize tabs are built in, but ask yourself... are you using the Tabbrowser extension now? If so, that renders your point moot.. who cares if there are tabs preinstalled with FF if you don't even use them UNTIL you have an extension?
As JeffCY mentioned, tabs work just fine and dandy without any extension. I don't use the tabbrowser extension. I tried it once a long time ago, when firefox was phoenix, and I found it to be a buggy and not very useful POS and I uninstalled it.
Netscape would be the same as firefox; they both use gecko. I sure hope you're not talking about Netscape 4, are you? Welcome to four years ago.
As for this quote, you make absolutely no reference to anything, so I can't really say much to this. If you mean load support, Netscape also has its problems.
You said that firefox loads pages correctly "most of the time," while netscape you described as "50/50." You also said that netscape does not have tabs, which is false. This suggested to me that perhaps you were thinking of Netscape 4, which is something like six years old. Ever since 6.0, netscape has been based on mozilla, and has had the mozilla rendering engine (gecko), and tabs.
If you use the middle button, :beer: for you. You really pwned me with this point. :roll: For me, a click slide is a lot faster than moving my index button to the middle one and clicking, then moving my hand back. If you use the middle button, good for you.
In either case, I have a hard time believing that either is much or any faster than the other. It's not like it's an unfamiliar key on your keyboard that you have to search for; it's a button which most people use all the time (they just scroll it instead of pressing it). My point was that the difference is pretty insignificant, not to mention that one could just as easily argue that the middle button is better. It's silly.
You know, undo is an interesting thing. I've wondered about how undo could be applied to things other than document editing, such as window management. It's a nifty idea, Then again, sticking undo into everything gets a bit ridiculous. Is it really that hard to just go back to the webpage? Are you really so uncoordinated that you randomly click things all the time?
If you forget the URL, or if it's just a dynamic ASP page with no correct title, then yes, it's useful. Or if you close a page and need it back it's there... I'm not sure what you imply here, but yes, it's in MyIE2.
Not implying anything, just thinking out loud. It's an interesting idea, but I don't have a firm opinion on whether it's a good or bad one.
I've used a few methods of ad blocking, and in the end, it's pointless. I don't care about ads; my mind tunes them out. Though I suppose if those horrid javascript atrocities worked in my browser, I'd want to block them too.
If you don't care about ads, go stick to IE. Yes, MyIE2 blocks the javascript too.
IE only runs on windows, so I couldn't use it if I wanted to. I don't see how not caring about ads makes me an "IE user." I simply ignore ads, as I'm sure most people do. It's easy, and it works better than software solutions. As for funky javascript ads, they usually only work in IE anyways.
Oh yea, like Firesomething. Really, I need my CPU power to be used creating "Mozilla AquaSheep".
Heh, you totally lost me here.
IMO you look pretty foolish saying that IE is "good."
Good thing it's IYO. :roll:
It's also the opinion of the US department of homeland security.
Get back on topic and stop with the flamewar.
You are right, I was being a bit flamey; it was late and I was a little careless.
But I'm just pointing out what I see as flaws in your argument for Maxthon. Hard to believe, but in a way, I am trying to help.
Try MyIE2, and if you have problems, address them here.
It only works on one platform, which is one that I don't use.
Otherwise take you and your FF fanboi attitude out of here. If you're so set on FF, what are you doing in this thread that simply lists an alternative?
I'm a fanboi of truth and rationality. I'm only messing with you because I found mistakes/flaws/inaccuracies/irrationality in your post.
