There are several advanages such as Tabbed Browsing and better yet the ability to add free yahoo accounts to User Chooser list. Also, can skip log in. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14437249 Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:41:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14435559 Frohike : I currently use Firefox.

If you find a web site that insists on IE6 to work properly, i.e. Windows Update, there is an extension, (available through the Tools menu), IE View 1.2.5 that opens the page in IE. There are many other extensions also that you can download and add to customize Firefox about any way you want.

So far it has been my experience that it is a faster, more secure browser than IE. When a problem is discovered it is usually fixed within a few days vs. weeks for MS to fix one. It also includes Tabbed browsing and a pretty good pop-up blocker, although occasionally one does sneak through.

I've been using both, the Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail for quite a while and I don't plan on going back anytime soon. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14434147 Sat, 24 Sep 2005 14:35:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14432399 larryhay : The answer is both, lol

It is a shell based on IE, much like AOL is. Butm it is a seperate Browser, which does NOT get good reviews by the tec savy on here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14432399 Sat, 24 Sep 2005 06:09:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14426200 Frohike : Let me ask something to anyone who knows.

Is the SBC Yahoo Browser just a Internet Explorer browser with SBC Yahoo branding on it or is it a seperate beast?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14426200 Fri, 23 Sep 2005 09:48:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14425799 btaylor1 : anyone tried this and have any thoughts?
