OT: Browsers & NetScape

I personally find the Mozilla type browsers to be clunky and in no way better than the IE type browsers. You can get all the features of Phoenix with browsers like MyIE2 without all the junk of Mozilla (and keeping the advancements in HTML possibilities that Microsoft has made, like colors for table borders (which did not work at all Last time I checked Phoenix)).

I use Proxomitron as a proxy server to block even more popups, but that prevents the PBW site from showing the buttons. Someday I'll figure out what setting is causing that, meanwhile, I just turn in off and refresh when I'm at the PBW site.

You can tell your browser to bypass the proxy server for specific URLs (such as PBW). PBW does not work well at all when filtered through Proxomitron.

For those of us who can't speak French, here's a MyIE2 site in English...

Well... the link I was given before had 2 sites, one in French and one in Chinese (at least, I think it was Chinese...). An English site is most helpful.

Load up IE 5.5 sp2 (I have the file if you can't find it) Then apply the security patches. DL and load MS virtual machine, set your security as tight as you want it (tight if you run in the buff and loose if you run a firewall)and you will never want IE6 again.

Yeah, what Ruatha says. Phoenix is a slick browser and there are Versions for linux and windows.

Phoenix is not a slick browser. It is full of random glitches and bugs. And, it suffers from the clunkiness of the Mozilla line of browsers.
