Yes, Communicator 4.04 is a decent improvement. However, I like IE4 better, and I believe I'm being very objective/fair in my comparison. Reasons I like IE4 better than Communicator:

1) Saves passwords automatically (you don't know how many times I've sent NSCP mail about not doing this--they say, "wait till everyone has digital IDs, then it will happen."

2) When you open a new browser windows (something I do a thousand times a day), IE4 opens the new windows to the same page I'm currently viewing. Communicator opens to my default homepage--very annoying.

3) IE4 has a better cache. It's quicker to move Back/Forward, and I can also use offline viewing.

4) "Browser Bars" are pretty useful, especially for doing searches.

5) The History folder, I've found, is invaluable. And I love how it is all sorted by website and date.

6) IE4 loads a lot faster than Communicator. (Not all that important, though still a factor.)

So there you have it, my objective reasons for liking IE4 better. Anyone have objective reasons for choosing Communicator?
