Just for the record, IE is soooo 2005. Firefox just surpassed IE in Europe and it is close to doing so in the US.

/install Firefox

Totally a tangent to this discussion, but I clicked on an ad today for some web hosting company (do you get extra cash for impressions?) and that site had been 'hacked by turkish hackers' or something. Good job, internets.

Well pages do seem to load faster with just the top advertising bar.

And for those idiots that say get Firefox, I am already using Firefox on linux to boot. While I could use add blockers that would sorta defeat the purpose of LFG putting the adds in in the first place. I don't mind subsidizing eq2flames though add banners.

Considering how many pages views I generate I might quite possible end up contributing more then 10$ through advertising but if the adds prevent me from seeing any content then my page views will drop.

Totally off the original subject but along the IE/Firefox argues.. My company as do many in the US totally falls for MS, but.. IE7 "is a non-supported browser" according to the email I got one day... then the next time I went to use it anyhow permissions had been completely turned off to IE 7 so that it wouldn't even load.. I had to roll back to version 6.
The best part... for any other browsing other than the Company sites which I use very infrequently (and are formatted for IE go figure) I use FFox and they haven't turned off the permissions for that... IT people are so stupid some times.

Oh and LFG I like the new layout doesn't feel like I'm browsing this site on the PSP anymore. ( even at 1280x1024 it felt squished against the right side before)

I am l33t and cool, I use Firefox. It is unhackable like Apple cause noone bothers to try to hack it.

Uhh... you mean after Firefox copied that from Opera? :P

Seriously the "Mouse Gesture" system alone is worth using opera over any of the other 2.

You mean Opera didn't copy Tabbed Browsing either? Wait, no it copied that too.

And lol Mouse Gestures. Wait, I have enough buttons on my mouse to do it already without a Convoluted system.
