Cool--didn't know it had that. I don't really care for the extra space toolbars take up though... And my browser has a built-in google search.. so. It's all good.

Just installed that spell-checker, don't use IE, but an IE-based browser.

Very cool. I have dictionary.com in my favourites for that purpose but this is quicker.
Plus my keyboard has a right-click menu key, so I can do it without touching the mouse.

I use Avant. Been using it for years now and I know every keyboard shortcut. Tabbed browsing like Firefox and everything disappears until you hover over it with your mouse.

I have it set up so when I touch the left edge of the screen my favourites come up. And it has mouse gestures as well as keyboard shortcuts, so making a '7' with mouse while holding the left button refreshes.

Cool... but I wasn't trying to imply that you use one that I do.

Nice to hear someone who is not a Firefox FTW freak.

Never heard of SlimBrowser or Deepnet? You just get used to whichever browser you use a lot I guess?

It would save you soo much time and reduce the ammount of posts since all the newbie questions could be solved by simply searching for the right info.

Wow...where to start with this one. Try the search button!

Not to be an ass or anything but if you are looking for something on a page press ctrl+f and type it in... Firefox searches on the fly (which I really like) but IE searches when you hit the enter key and it highlights it. You can actually find the search function by simply typing search into the find dialog. Just an FYI, I use it all the time when searching for something specific on a cluttered page.

I use Maxthon, which is also an IE shell (it used to be called MyIE2). I have tried Firefox but I always end up back with Maxthon. I also use the ieSpell and find it invaluable.

You'd think that...right? Nope.

There simply has to be more than one "Which headphone is best for gaming" thread on the first page of the Headphones forum at all times. Has to.
