Am I unique in the Linux users world who pines of an IE for x86 Linux? Mozilla's all good and dandy, but it's /slow/ and in my experience, horribly unstable. IE by contrast is simple, and blindingly quick. It's actually a superb browser on balance, no matter what people say.
I think you are unique, because with respect, that is total bollocks. IE hasn't been updated in years, and simply pales into insignificance against Opera and Mozilla 1.5 (neither of which is slow, BTW).
There are two things I miss unspeakably when some brain-dead site forces me to use IE. 1) tabbed browsing, and 2) blocking pop-ups. QED.
Cheers, Laurie.
