Traditionally, I would have suggested Opera too, because it has been my favourite browser for many years now. But with recent versions, I saw it getting... hmmm... how do I tell best? It's getting more slower in overall handling, and it often stops working completely (several seconds); printing isn't as good as in Firefox, and it won't work on some sites that are no problem with Firefox. Furthermore, there's lots of stuff now bundled with the Opera web browser that I (personally) found no use for, such as a mail client, IRC client, torrent client, and some other stuff that could easily be called "bloatware". (Don't get me wrong: The M2 mail client isn't that bad, but far from lightweight, as the whole Opera is today.) But maybe that's only "my problem" (due to my ancient computer and OS). Try Opera. Maybe it works for you. And: No, I'm no Firefox advocate. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
