Browser wars - cool

I think there is a thread for browser wars. We are just discussing browsers as they relate to memory usage and stability...hopefully

>>I was just wondering if anyone here as ever tried Opera<<

I have not tried it myself. I am waiting for the next release before I give it a try. It sounds interesting.

>>Will it still be possible to delete IE from 98 ?<<

I wouldn't recommend it. I believe Sean and others have indicated deleting is not a good idea. I tried IE4x and then tried to uninstall it and it left my machine totally inoperable. My recommendation would be to let it be, hard disc space is cheap.

I use Opera occasionally, and find it very efficient. However, with no java support, I don't know how far it can go in appealing to the masses. Perhaps future versions will have that support.

Lots of articles read recently regarding upcoming Win 98 release. In each of them, they say you will NOT be able to delete IE from the OS. Just the icons. How nice of Gates and Co.

Tim,

Browser wars?? No, legtimate technical discusion of features/functions yes.

I also have opera and yes its lean and mean but doesn't suit my tastes.

You cannot officially remove IE4 from 98.

Why is IE a browser you refuse to use??
