Azag 0 Report post · CID: 18726944501887 Posted April 7, 2005 To my own and probably others surprise, I found out of all the browsers I use and I have many for testing web site compatibility issues and such, I have found Maxthon to be the fastest for speed testing here at testmy.net and other speed test sites. The startup is a little slow when being it but when browsing or speedtest or chenaging between sites it is definitely fastest and very obviously. It is tabbed also this is good but a slight disadvantage for me as I have to many favorites in my list(s) and should put them buy individual letter rather than the groups they are in now as it goes way off screen for me in most groups lol. 10000+ is to many favorites I know but I like a lot of sites and go back to them mostly I do still like FireFox and am using it right now. It used to be faster than IE dunno what happened but about 2months ago +/- ...but lno longer, now IE is faster but still not as secure . Unlike Firefox or IE, Maxthon does not scroll favorites down but tabs out to right side (at least I can find no setting to change this so far) and goes off my screen most of time depending on group:( Of course these are my opinions and observations only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paladin 4 Report post · CID: 2230995719 Posted April 9, 2005 Guess I'm the oddball here as I will use IE until everything shakes out. I am not a whiz on this gizmo anyway. However I used Netscape til aol got their hooks in it. Have been using IE ever since, knock on my wooden head, but I have never had a virus, trojan or any other junk except when I did a little ptp music. I quit that pretty quick and don,t do chat rms or im's and only web mail. I do have norton 2003 av and sygate free firewall, winpatrol,qwik-fix and spybot s&d. I sure hope I haven't jinxed myself. :D :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you haven't tried winpatrol, check it out. I love it as a duffer, it tells me a lot and explains it easily. Then expounds on the expl.for 10 bucks a year.
