Browser IE based for my Mum! 8-/

Well, let navigate for the first time my 6x old mum! :-)
I usually use MyIE2 and I want a similar browser only for her
(SlimBrowser, AvantBrowser, GreenBrowser ?) but with zoom buttons(or
edit box) to easily magnify the pages (like Opera; in MyIE2 there's only
a shortcut or the menu).
Any advice ?

Thanks!

Simon

I've changed idea: I'm trying Opera, so she cannot destroy my Favorites!

I hated the ads-bar, even when the ads are blocked: a big gray bar taking up
space. How about a stand-alone magnifying tool ? It even comes with windows,
at least with win98SE.

Thanks Jo, but I want maximum space to view the webpage, this just replaces
the space I want to gain.

I've noticed it requires less memory to run.

K-Meleon requires less than Firefox.
Don't know about Opera.
