OK

I just tried Opera for the first time....Is it possible that Media Player active x does not work with Opera? Or is there some settings that I need to make?

Thanks

Embedded videos won't work like Jay's Page and your Ultimate Web Cam stuff, but if the file is a link it will open Media Player.

When I want to view your sight, I have to use IE.

I've been using the free browser for years.

You get so you don't even see the ads on the top after a while.

Avant is good too - it uses the I.E. engine so 100% compatible with I.E.

Indeed!

Mozilla,
I might take a peek at that.
Does it have the mouse shortcuts like Opera?
That's the main reason I like Opera.

I'm not sure about the shortcuts. It's evolving quickly. Just upgraded to 0.9.

I'm using Avant Browser right now and I didn't have to log in because I had logged in a week ago with IE.

It does have the mouse gestures like Opera.

Looks like I will be importing some bookmarks soon.

So far, I like it.

Mozilla didn't know who you were Jay, or it doesn't want to? I assume if has cookies and such like IE

Avant Browser is a resource HOG!
I stopped using it yesterday.

Maybe on a faster machine it would be better.
Don't know for sure.

I generally just use Mozilla these days. It seems to handle some of the stuff I do a little better. Some more technical people I know say that they don't use it because they say it's a little slower but I have noticed a major difference.

I've been playing with MyIE2 (now Maxthon) for a few weeks. Uses IE engine, but seems to render a bit faster. I like the tabbed browser with the ability to group pages. It also has the mouse shortcut stuff. I haven't upgraded to the latest since it changed to Maxthon, but am going to give it a go now and see whats improved. It definately blocks all the popups - even better than google I think.
