You ain't kiddin' man!
Damn!Page loads are fast.
I always used Netscape 7.2 so popups weren't really much of a problem.
Simple and fast.I like it
Their Thunderbird mail program is quite good also.

Yes, a very good browser. Gotta love the import from IE or other option. Fast and simple, the way it should be......

Been using it for quite a while, and yes it works great.
Only thing it does'nt have are the plugins, so ya gotta download them individually.
I love the "open in new tab feature" makes it real easy to browse between multiple sites at the same time.

Just switched, can't believe the speed difference. Seems too good to be true.

Been using it for about 6 months now. One thing I find, the more bookmarks you have the longer it takes to load. No big deal. Now when I run my spyware programs they always come up clean and no pop-ups! But I've been reading its just a matter of time before the dirtbags find the vulnerabilities. Keep it updated like everything else. I also find it tends to hang whem trying to open .pdf's All in all I would'nt go back to EI.
