I didn't know SlimBrowser maybe I'll try it someday. So many browsers
and everybody finds one that match his taste. And since Jack feels so
strongly about MyIE2 I'll keep an eye on it :-)

Right now I'm working with AvantBrowser and like it much better then
CrazyBrowser.

Thanks for your help everybody

Hmmm....I run Avant 9.01b118 on my Win98SE machine and it's darn fast. I
have a PIII/700 with 512MB of RAM.

Best is entirely subjective. What's best for you may be totally useless for
me.

PS Avant has this annoying glitch as well. It defaults to the address bar
instead of the page for new windows so when you attempt to scroll it goes
down the list of previously type addresses.

Just tried your TweakUI suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work. I
don't know what's going on with SB. Oh well... Thanks for trying though..

I tried Avant as well and liked it, but I didn't like the way it seemed to
mess with the Default Browser settings. I wanted to leave my default
browser set to Mozilla, but Avant took over. Otherwise Avant seemed nice..

That is standard behaviour. You must make sure that the window has
focus before you can use the scroll wheel.

Yep, the window does have focus.. None of the other browsers have this
problem. Only Slimbrowser. Very odd..

Some versions of Opera also had this problem. When I am in the history
window and click on a link the page is displayed off the cache - then
the page loses focus, even when it is the only window open. And I have
to click somewhere on the page to regain the focus and use the scroll
feature.

Just wondering: Is Crazy Browser legal in Canada?

If I ever use it, I'll keep it hidden in the basement.
