Need a better browser

don't waste your time with those browsers. it's just a source of problems and aggravation. I can' t watch Bloomberg even though I have Real player installed, I can 't see Flash animations etc etc. Always some sH*t that I need to download. With IE everything is bundled and that 's what 's great about it.
You're darn right Kicking. For me, I NEVER download any of that crap. What do you need this for? I simply need a browser that works to get me to yahoo, google and a bunch of forums with their related url's.
Does someone use browsercraft ? (It's an addon to IE which is better than a substitute to IE except if you hate IE of course 
)

How on earth you create a button for an url in mybar ? I have erased the example and I don't see where it is in the doc.

Firefox needs the Java plug-in that is available for free here. http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp
It takes all of 30 seconds to load and work....wow! Problems and aggravation....not!
I loaded it, and sites like Foxnews.com, LiveCharts, and Bloomberg streaming video work perfectly. I checked these web sites, and have Bloomberg streaming right now.
Firefox is only a .8 release, so it didn't come with it "bundled" together. It is not a big time commercial release like Microsoft (for all the goodness that gets you).
You can continue to use convienent IE if you wish, I had nothing but problems with probably about 30 data miners a week being installed to my computer. With Firefox I have had no data miners, trojans, or Java bugs, or any pop-up ads at all in a couple of months. I had to make a move away from IE, after dealing with these small daily problems I had a big time problem with some sort of browser hi-jack that when I opened IE it re-wrote the data miners and hi-jack items I had just removed with Ad-aware. It also removed my MS Notepad and did a bunch of other things. I finally had to re-format to finally be rid of it. IE is just a big easy target with poor security.
Nothing good ever comes easy!
I am sure the Java developers would argue that using Java in the development of a web site adds to the experience and interaction with the user.
Point is, it is an very easy work around with Firefox and Java rich sites can be enjoyed.
