Who else thinks that the Phoenix web browser is the best thing since the integrated circuit?

OK, it's not THAT great. But it does make IE, Mozilla (which will soon switch to Phoenix's XUL interface) and Opera feel extremely bloated.

yeah, except for the rendering error it does sometimes on these forums - like when the page is done loading and it puts the scrollbar on it doesn't redraw correctly...

I really like this browser. It's the standards and such of Mozilla, with the llook and feel of IE. Plus, you can press CTRL+Enter to automatically fill in the http://www.(whatever).com part. It's worth the download just for that improvement.

WHY IS THIS NOT ALREADY BUILT INTO MOZILLA??

(or am i missing it?)

Been using Phoenix for a while. It has worked best overall compared to any other browser for me. It's my default browser. I use IE maybe once a month now. Phoenix is just great. :)

Now that the forums have been updated, there is this "quick reply" thing on the bottom of every thread which I find REALLY handy. This doesn't seem to show up in IE. :) Now who has the rendering errors? :p

IE has had that for some time....Just a little known feature I guess.

I'm a Crazy Browser fanboi too. Only thing I wish it had was better customization for pop-up blocking, since there's a few sites (such as this one) that legitimately use pop-up windows.

I'll pass until they add context menus to the Bookmark dropdown. It's been missing since what, 1997?

eh it's okay. but not that great, I use it because IE sucks donkey nuts. If I leave a window open overnight (I leave the comp on all the time) The browser will crash on me after a while. Errors in the exe itself. I've reinstalled it and still doesn't like me. Also, if you try to right click and check the properties of a picture, it can't do it, just opens a page of gibberish. Also, if I highlight a URL, I can't use the arrow keys to navigate, have to use the mouse to place the cursor where I want. Other little things too, but those are the problems I remember.
