I did it!

I've been meaning to do this since January, but Netscape had a tabs feature I liked... and I knew it... and it was comfortable... and I hate changes, lol.  But today, when I couldn't even get in without it quitting on me, I changed my browser to Avant!  So far,I like it. There are things I'll have to adjust or get used to, but I have my colors and fonts in iV and that's what's most important, lol! That and not having it quit in the middle of a post or everytime I need to back up!

 

I'll miss my tabs, and auto log in, but not all the other headaches I'd been living with.

 

What browser do you all use?

I heard about Avant awhile ago from someone in one of the boards. I wanted a free browser that would let me use the colors and fonts, but didn't want Internet Explorer. They suggested Avant. So far, it works pretty well. Dh uses Firefox and likes it, but it won't work with iV for the "toys", so it does me no good.

Hope you have good luck with Advant, scary trying a different browser. Here is a page I found that has lots of comments about Advant. They gave it 4 stars out of 5 overall and that's a good rating, but there are many negative points mentioned in the "Con's" too that may be worthwhile reading about...........

My husband downloaded another browser today too called "The World Browser". Not sure yet how he likes it or if he'll keep it. He didn't like what they did to his bookmarks, will see. I'm chicken to download a new browser, but I did switch from Netscape to Mozilla Firefox a few years ago and that was a good move. I use IE for IVillage too and that's the only thing I use it for.

I honestly can't see any reason to change from IE. It kinda scares me to make a change after all these years....I'm such a chicken.....lol


I've seen Outlook Express and don't like it at all...
