*grin*...yes, Kevin, I've seen listings for that one. It feels like an ad for "pen pals". If I am judgung hastily, correct me.

I don't exactly 'collect' browsers, I just accumulate them...if they seem useful. But thanks....

(I once had something called "Stealth Browser" which was designed to use in the workplace to fool the boss. It hid inside a window in another program. Very clever, but.....)

There at least 4-5 others that I see recommended, but most run on the I.E. engine, and I don't care for it at all. (I only keep IE because it is such a hassle to get rid of it, and a very few sites need it)

One virtue of all the choices is that people differ widely in what they want their browser to do and look like. My two main ones have a 'wood' background, almost no graphics in the toolbars (text only), and ways to NOT see all the toolbars until I wish.
I also choose the display fonts, how they use tabs, how they react when closed (save current tabs or not), what search engines are quickly available...etc., etc.
