        The cool skins don't work with the new one , but there are some rather splendid add-ons

          Same problem with me too. The Skins and Orkut Tools are not working on the New One. The Only Advantage i see is that we can Correct our Spelling mistakes

              try opera instead, coz IE is POS (i know it is not, but It used to cause so much ache when I used it) I think opera 9 is now the fastest browser

              Also if you think firefox is slow you can find the firefox safe mode and run that. that loads way faster

              to start firefox in safe mode, go to START RUN and then eneter firefox.exe -safe-mode and enter. before you do this all firefox instances should be closed

                I Believe it fixes the vexing memory leak issue. but uses more CPU. but using just firefox is no fun, using extensions like adblock, orkut scrapper, greasemonkey, fasterfox really makes browsing mucvh more fn and fruitful

                  IF your browser crashes, Firefox-2 automatically takes you back to the same page(s) when you re-open the browser.

                  That's a nice feature. Plus the spell-check built right into posts is nice too. :)

                      to make your browser even more faster type

                      step 1: type about:config in address bar
                      Step 2: in filter put the word pipelining and you get three items
                      change network.http.pipelining to true
                      change network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 25
                      change network.http.proxy.pipelining to true

                      When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading

                      step 3:

                      right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "10" or "5".

                      this means when you hit back or open a new page, the browser wont wait 100 ms (which is default) before it starts to 'paint' the page, setting it 0 is not recommended because then when you select back you may get a blank page and then the page starts 'painting'.

                      try this and you will be surprised how fast your browser is. it is just amazing how much control you have over this browser..

                            How much can a browser use?

                            By the way, IE7 is finalized.
