In all seriousness, I switched off of IE because of the popups. Using IE, the web was often like that for me. I didn't like the pop up blocking options out at the time and Mozilla had a builtin blocker--and I could keep my mozilla profile in one directory and use it for both windows and Unix. :D

Now, if only the whole history sidebar wasn't just plain ****ed, Mozilla would actually be a substantial improvement. I use my history setup for basically everything, so the fact that the damn thing can't even keep the pages in some kind of logical order, never mind store them in a reasonable fashion instead of just totally purging every once in a while, is obnoxious beyond belief.

I can't say anything about the sidebar. I don't use it. It just takes up screen real estate so I disable it.

Post by: Stryke 9 on February 27, 2004, 09:57:58 pm: Always have, ever since I switched from Netscape years back. History does everything bookmarks do, and a whole ****load more. Should try it sometime, I imagine it'd take a while to get used to but once that's over with it's far better.

And, I mean, even if you don't rely on it to the extent that I do, it's still a ****ing pain in the ass when you do need it. Want to find that one page in a hundred you went to looking for that circuit board map/serial number/German porn/whatever? Good luck with the page-based sorting- it's not in alphabetic order, it's not in (the absolutely worthless) time order, it's just plopped down wherever the hell Firefox feels like putting it! WHEE!

[color=cc9900]Er, what? You can click the 'view' button and arrange them in whatever order you like, and there's even a little bar for you to search your history with. What do you want it to do?[/color]
